Park actually makes a piece of metal for determining / setting proper dish for the TS-2, "Park Tool Centering gauge for TS-2/3 stands", part number 1554-1. Being a tool junkie, I've got one. Anyone in the SF Bay Area is welcome to borrow it.

Flipping the wheel works pretty good too, if you're not sure.

I love building wheels.
