Are there any dimensions for the piston base tool that is used to keep pistons 3&4 in place when re-assembling the engine, as they are nigh on impossible to find so thinking of getting a couple machined up

I have 2 of these and have found them to only be useful for starting the first pair of pistons (3 & 4).
