Default Rectangular peg, no hole?

Hello all,

I am slowly starting to measure the amount of shim material I will need
to align the head on my mill.

Along with the import 12 inch calipers, my backup test indicator arrived
yesterday. It is a Baker, and I'm impressed so far. In the case is a
4-5 inch rectangular bar with a pin near one end.



If the bar is about 1/4" x 1/2" cross section, it's for mounting the
indicator on a height gage.




It looks like it
would be quite useful for the sweep I need to make, but I do not see how
to mount the indicator to it, or maybe I don't see how to mount it to
the spindle. I can readily get one end to work, but not both.

Am I missing the obvious? I think I can rig something given another
connector they included and some hardware from a mag base. If there is
a correct way to do this, I will happily take advantage of it.

Bill
