Subaru Special Transmission Tools

I'm embarking on another tranny rebuild in order to rearrange my gearing a bit. On my previous rebuild I had a friend at the dealer who lent me the special tools... but he no longer works there.

I'm wondering if someone on here is the proud owner of this guy (among others) and could give me some precise measurements so I can fab one up:

(from Josh's site)

I believe the part number is ST 499917500. It's a bit pricey to buy, and I can machine one to exact spec very easily.
*EDIT*- that one pictured is ST 499917501 (I think), ST 499917500 (entire assembly) is what I need and is very similar, if anyone has it.

The only other special tool I don't have but need is the drive pinion lash adjuster. I don't think there is a substitute for that one, either. Thanks to anyone in advance!!

HA!

Actually, this one correctly places the lay shaft so the drive pinion is in the correct position with respect to the ring gear. The fore-aft adjustment is made by adding or subtracting shims on the main carrier bearing of the pinion shaft.
