I need a tool to measure holes or other features over irregular surfaces. Measured distance is frequently over 24 inches but usually less the 48 inches. Surface irregularities could be around 3" tall above the feature I want to measure.
An example would be an exhaust manifold that can't be removed, but I need to pick up the mounting stud centers. Precision need to be somewhere between .005 and .015 inches. The only tool I could come up with would be trammel points like starrett 50A then transfer to a precision rule.
Is there a better solution?
