I'm fitting a new 9" clutch to my S2A, along with a new spigot bush.

Can I use this as an alignment tool?

Otherwise do you recommend I find an old input shaft somewhere to use?

I've not fit a new clutch before so I don't know how important the alignment part is.. if I could just do it by eye and it be alright?

Someone is (was?) selling 3D printed copies of the input shaft on eBay for about £13 all in.

Find something roddish that's looseish in the spigot bush. Put the clutch and cover on looseley. Move the rod up and down to see what it's full range is and then use less movement until you can move it in any direction and it comes up against the clutch splines at the same angle as any other direction. A marker pen usually works.

The universal ones will work but from previous experience they're not as good as a piece of spigot shaft.
Go gently when fitting the gearbox onto the engine. The spigot shaft doesn't have much of a taper on it and can be tricky to engage in the flywheel bush.
