OK folks - I have just spent hours searching for this and I cant find what I need. On my bobcat loader bucket is a rod and tube set up to tell me when the bucket is level. I have also seen on older motor graders a bar attached to the blade tilt that indicated manually the blade position. It slid through a sight window with the hydraulic cylinder.

What I am trying to do is get some sort of clamp on indicator to tell me the amount of tilt (or dead center) for the rear tilt cylinder on my new RBT3584 rear blade.

Hear is a picture of the cylinder.

Its just hard to see from the seat where I am at with the tilt, (I'm getting old I think) especially centering up. I have a clear view of the cylinder rod, so something simple would work. I could fab something up, but not sure where to get clamps that might work.
