any universal one will do, they not expensive to buy. You can do it by eye without one also, but better to use one if your not sure.
Pretty easy to make one up yourself too if you need - Last time i did a clutch and didnt have one I simply cut th handle off of a wooden spoon, and wrapped electrical tape round a couple of sections on the handle till they held everything in place!

Thanks guys,
I want to take out the guesswork. Have looked at universal type which align the diaphragm fingers with the friction plate splines on the bench and then offer up to flywheel but prefer an alignment tool which aligns friction plate with spigot bearing in flywheel, it seems they're not supplied with clutch kits in these days of economy. Could always get one turned up at local m/c shop as last resort. So if anyones got one to suit 6 speed clutch and want to lend it out for a nominal fee give me a shout.
