Trying to find the centerline on the wheel pants. Not easy with such compound curves….unless you use a laser. Kinda cool, but the laser also blasts thru the bottom portion of the opposing side. Should be pretty close.
I still use it at my yearly condition inspection to find TDC to set magneto timing.
I was thinking of doing the same, haven't found a good way to hold the laser head ... how do you set it up?

Dan is correct. The cutouts may not be centerSean, the method in the photos seems to rely on the cutout being in the right place...which is not always a safe bet.
Clamp some wood strips or similar to the flap portions on each side of the tail and make an eyeball comparison.
What laser are you using?
