Surly Troll Kickstand Align Tool

[Surly] [surly_url] makes steel frames without central kickstand plates - for no good reason, other than religion. You can install a central kickstand by using (for example) [Pletscher Kickstand Plate] [url].

However, there is a problem: a kickstand is not fixed against rotation along bolt's axis. Kickstands similar to [Ursus Jumbo] [ursus] will eventually rub your wheels no matter how hard you tighten a kickstand's bolt.

This align tool eliminates this problem by providing a fixed perimeter around kickstand's base, preventing it from rotating. The align tool is designed to fit Surly Troll frame (M/18") and Ursus Jumbo kickstand. Both STL and Fusion 360 file are included for easier modifications.

I am using it for few years. It took all sorts of abuse and bashing, but not a single crack. Kickstand does not move at all.
