re: dial gauge

Assuming all surfaces are clean...

Would a thick piece of plate steel mounted to engine lower mount studs provide a stable enough surface for a dial gauge using a magnetic base?
I'd make sure the surface of the steel plate was flat.

Can't find a local supplier of this type of dial gauge:

Thanks
