Here are my pictures. I used a 6" dividing head to index a 48" rim\o/ It worked out really good.
Here are a couple of index marks. I used a silver sharpie to make the marks.
I've ran into a small problem. The thread that the Nipples are tapped to is an oddball. (I was told by the nipple man that I needed a 5-40 thread. His thread roll die head says 5-40 but the nipple is really loose on a cut thread that I made with a regular die.) So I'm going to have to send the spokes to a guy in California to roll thread the end that screws into the nipple. I'll thread the end that goes into the hub. Rolled threads are bigger than cut threads. It seams that wheel builders use their own standard. I couldn't even find a chard that explained spoke nipple thread sizes. Some times you can find a gauge reference, But never a thread per inch.
