I am in need of advice and tips on a straight foreward process for alignment of Carden Shaft on a V drive set-up.
Man 2848LE401 to Twin disc MG5114RV. I have limited access to making "pointers" to fit

1. Get everything in the same vertical plane.

2. Adjust so that the u-joint deflection angles are always equal.

For (1), you need straightedges, squares, and a good level.

For (2), you need the protractor head and a short blade of a machinists' combination square set. Buy a cheap one so you can cut it up as necessary for clearance.
