Yokomo camber gauge

Yokomo camber gauge

This new camber gauge from Yokomo is trick, its so simple, looks so cool and just works. This blue anodised gauge looks like the flights on an arrow, but actually is a simple camber gauge where the fins represent different angles in relation to its flat base. Each camber angle is represented by little dots on the fins and a simple rotation of the gauge ensures you obtain the correct measurement or you can set the correct measurement.
