No matter how simple part looks, there is always something to learn....I made the hole for flexure (the hole at end of the slit) first too small. Needed to turn the know with white fingers to compres it enough to hold the indicator - mildly...Poked it with 10 mm end mill and better, shaved off annother 0,5 mm on each side and I called it good....

Glad you got it sorted out.  On a related note, if you'd have located the clamp at the open end (leaving that area a little bigger than it is now), leverage would be on your side for clamping power.  But maybe there's a reason you went the way you did.  Designing things like this "by the seat of the pants" is tough.  Sometimes you get it right the first time, sometimes not.  Every experiment adds to your knowledge and experience.  It's all hindsight, and you have something that works now.

Any ideas how to make stand an/or adjustment for a micron gauge or microcator?

Use a micrometer head to move the gauge against a spring loaded mount for the gauge.
