[Ducati] ' 96 900SS clutch holding tool anyone?

[Erik Bruno Marchini]

Fred, I made the tool using the old steel plates.  I took all of them,
aligned them and had somebody spot weld them together, then weld a handle to
it.  Cost me $20 for the guy to weld it (it was a rip-off, but I was in a
hurry and didn't want to look for somebody else, or negotiate).  It worked
great.  I'd be glad to let you use mine, but the shipping would probably
cost more than it would cost you to just have somebody weld it for you.
I can send pix if you would like.
