Patent ID: 7406776

Claim:
A mounting tool comprising: a base extending along a first direction that is parallel to a longitudinal dimension of said base, wherein said base comprises a first set of holes that have an orientation with respect to each other that corresponds to an orientation of mounting holes of a position measuring device; a height gage attached to said base, wherein said height gage is adjustable in length, said height gage comprising: a first leg attached to said base and extending along a second direction that is not parallel to said first direction, wherein said first leg is attached to said base so as to be incapable of moving along said second direction relative to said base; and a second leg attached to said first leg and comprising a support portion extending along a third direction that is not parallel to said second direction, wherein said support portion is magnetic and extends only along said third direction; and an adjustment wheel coupled to said first leg and said second leg so that rotation of said adjustment wheel about an axis of rotation parallel to said second direction adjusts said length of said height gage along said second direction.
