This looks like the same tool I bought from ebay not long before I had the blown-fuse-long-nap ordeal. I checked it as soon as I received it in a new HP coupler. Perfect fit. Beats the chit out of buying the special tool straight from Mother Mercury.

Does it come with the round gimbal piece ???

I got mine from speed & custom and it is actually the original merc tool with a round plate that is good for SSM ,TRS and bravo or Alpha and paid 80 bucks for it ,,,don't think thats bad either.

If this one here does not have the plate it is almost worthless !!!

On e-bay it is not showing the plate ?!

Just curius .

if I am not mistaken it does not come with the round gimbal piece you are talking about, it is on another auction by the same guy for like 20 something dollars said it would only add 4 to the shipping if you got both

ZP'd 04-03-2009 06:09 AM

Yup, same Joe! He sells the bearing driver as well and the cost is still cheaper then $80 given the final cost would be around $86 even with shipping included. (to my zip anyway)
My Gimbal bearing looks like new so I never even thought about buying one with the bearing ring driver.

If I do need it someday though I'll know where I can get it QUICK! :drink:

DareDevil 04-03-2009 08:12 AM

It also does not have the bigger screw on piece ,,needet for the SSM drives which the merc has and there is no thread on this one to screw it on either.
I think there is a reason to pay 80 + for merc.

Without that round piece u can't align anything ,because thats what gives u the refrence point @ the gimbal to check the alignment.
Just the pin is like sticking a broomstick in to the coupler and eyeball the rest ( not good ) .
I post some pictures from the real thing later.:food-smiley-007:
