I extracted this information from Ralf Brinkmann on the old Yahoo! Loopframe_Guzzi news group (which has now moved to Groups.io). In Ralf's own words:

I designed such a tool by myself some years ago - very simple to make - today I had the time to search for pictures and put them into the internet - see the following link:

  • The c-rail is 25 mm
  • Small bolts 6 mm
  • Big bolt 10 mm - only tighten by hand!
  • Not visible - a washer or something else as counter surface between
  • 10 mm - bolt of the c-rail and built-in spacer in the rear drive box.
