Yup, as suggested in one of these threads I'll put the pieces in the fixture horizontally for the pic so that we get good shots of exactly where the lobes are making contact.

EDIT- That is, if I'm understanding what you're asking correctly...

Well, what I'm suggesting is that we get need some accurate measure of the radius of the cam. My suggestion was that it be at the midpoint of the cam's expansion range, but the actual contact point with the jig has merit too. I can see advantages and disadvantages to each way, with no clear winner. The problem with hybrids is that the lobes have different radii. I'm not sure what the best way to deal with than in the analysis would be, but the default options would be to average them. Regardless, we should know the radius of each lobe for hybrid cams, if that is possible.
