John Deere 1050 clutch finger adjustment

I'm replacing the clutch in my John Deere 1050 4wd tractor. I ordered a new clutch from Yesterday's Tractors and now I need to adjust the clutch fingers, or the clutch release lever height. The manual specifies a special tool, a JDG-52 Clutch adjusting tool. In the photo below "A" is the special tool and "B" are the clutch fingers that need adjusting. The two local John Deere places do not have this tool, don't know where to get one, and the wait time on an order might be three months. I've looked around on the internet and can't find one except a sold one on Ebay. The clearance that this gauge is set for is NOT in the manual. So I've hit a brick wall here. Does anyone have any insight on how to set the finger height, or where to obtain the tool? Pictures below. Thanks very much!

Looks like a person could print that photo of the tool, scale it up or down to exactly match the side-to-side distance, to where it fit exactly like the JD Manual photo, and make the tool.
 
Thanks, everybody!
I've sent an inquiry to ebay seller Mike, and worst case scenario, Big Green has one for, of course, megabucks considering what it is, a little piece of sheet metal with no moving parts. However, splitting this tractor is not something I want to do again if I can help it so I will track down a tool one way or another. When I have one in hand I will post the specs on this forum and the other big forum so the next person with this issue will have an easier time of it.
