balance shaft tool - J41088... anyone have one ava

this is most likely a worthless cause, i'm looking for tool j41088. a picture found here.<a href=http://www.emulsified.net/upload/pics/bst.jpg)a picture found here(/a>This tool allows u to install the balance shaft chain to the crank, and appears to be the only way (shy of fabricating your own) to time the balance shafts correctly. so if anyone can find an online/local retailer, etc. or even lend me for a fee and collateral i would GREATLY appreciate it. anything to help me get closer to tracking this tool down or another installation procedure someone has taken to do this will be awesome.

The second one was better anyway.

Why not just us a straight edge across the flat part of the shaft, then a triangle on the block base to make sure your straight edge is perpendicular to the crank. Clamp that all up and go put the chain on. Crude, but works.

Thats what i did,but i used a screwdriver to line them up.I wouldnt buy a tool like that if im only gonna use it once.The only tricky part is getting the right tension on the chain for the oil pump.
