Looks like a flat piece of steel drilled to bolt to the clutch with a piece of flat stock or round stock welded to it would work fine. I can think of a couple other ways to configure it too but that would work.

Yeah, what do you need a tool for, I have put 3 sets of springs in 3 bikes and plates and springs in another and I didn't have no special tool or did I wish I did.

The tool was a detriment to me. Not necessary except for the very early motors.

There are two different tools...one is for alignment and the other is to hold the basket. My earlier posts were directed only to the alignment tool.

If the OP is referring to the clutch basket center nut, then put the bike in gear, get a helper to apply the rear brake, & use an impact wrench to remove the center nut.
