I have a Forster concentricity gauge, but want to upgrade to a better dial indicator. I want something in .0001" or .0005" graduations. I can get a test indicator at a good deal, but they don't mount like a standard dial indicator. I'm racking my brain, but I can't think of a way to make it work.
Any suggestions?

Here's a link to good pic of one on eBay

Doubtful whether you will be able to mount a dial test indicator on it. You may want to see if Starrett or other manufacturers make a dial indicator that measures in .0005 increments but no doubt it will not be inexpensive. I used a Sinclair gauge for many years and recently acquired an Accuracy One concentricity gauge that uses a dial test indicator. Excellent tool.
