Re: Spanner sizes (TC Tool Kit)

[CFritz7001@aol.com]

Charles According to the Parts List published as Isssue # 3 in 1952, the spanners are: BOX: 3/16" x 1/4" , 5/16" x 3/8" , 7/16" x 1/2" Double-ended:: 3/16" x 1/4" , 5/16" x 3/8" , 7/16" x 1/2" There was also a "Tappet spanner (Ring type)", but no size is given for it (I assume that these spanner sizes are Whitworth, but the book does NOT specify. The tappet spanner COULD possibly be metric, I guess - mine was lost long ago) Re. Greasing: FWIW, on suspension & steering, I always pump until FRESH grease comes out of the joint, then wipe away the old stuff. As for other fittings-- Water pump 2 or 3 strokes Tach reduction gearbox 2 or 3 Hand-brake cables : 2 or 3 Hope this helps. Regards, Carl Fritz
