Hi Ray,
What I have are two of the rounded, odd looking, shifting spanners, or
variable wrench or whatever it is called in the US.
In South Africa it is known as a Free State micrometer, The Free State being
our equivelent of Minnesota ( I hope I'm not treading on too many toes).

Once went to a meet where the 'event' for the day was to see who had the best 'kit'. I took them literally and packed evrything but the sink.
I had tent, blankets, stove, jumpers, picnic hamper (full) and teddy bear.
I will admit I attended in an MGBGT this time only. . . .but I was the best prepared. . . had my brolly and raingear, and needed it, that day. . . . Happy New Year all!

Listers,

Received a nice 7 piece set of Whitworth wrenches (1/2W, 7/16W, 3/8W,
5/16W, 1/4W, 3/16W and 1/8W) from www.oldbritts.com tonight. Not
original, I know, but a lot nicer than the set I've been using. Made by
Acesa (Spain), the cost was only $49.90. They also advertise an 8 piece
Whitworth socket set (Japanese) for $43.33.

Look under Our Products/Accessories/Tools

As always, no financial interest, just reporting good service and decent
prices.

Gene

Hello, all. On a related matter, I am looking to buy the set of tools
for a 1948 MG TC that was provided with the new car. I have the
complete jack assembly, a lube gun and a hammer for the knock offs.
What I need is the tools that come in the roll up pouch. Anyone have
one to sell or know of someone interested in selling? Appreciate your
responses.

You all have taught me much about my TC; every time I open my email I
enjoy reading the subjects you discuss. Cheers, Dick Gronet TC 5135

There is a chap in Australia , think his name is Jeremy Havard, who
makes repro tools and does them well. The firm trading name is In Point
and you can find a link to it on the Y site under Links. Otherwise
simply keep monitoring ebay and a set will sooner or later turn up but
whether they are original or not you will only discover when you have
them in hand. All British cars of the period used similar tools and
someone in NZ has been making up sets and flogging them off as original
TC tools. They are close but if you have your heart set on an original
TC tool roll they don't quite cut it. You are better off with the
repros. Terry in Vancouver

Dick,

Try one or both of the following addresses for TC tools. Also, complete sets
and individual tools appear from time to time on eBay.

Metwrench (sp) are fantastic. They have rounded points and actually grip on
the edges of the fastener. I keep a kit in my care and they fit metric, US
whitworth etc!!! One set does it all!!

Just wondering,

Isn't this one of the reasons why we used to have tube (box) spanners?
Long reach and no need for any special nuts. The other good thing about
tube spanners is that they are hex rather than bi-hex so don't take the
corners off rusty nuts quite as efficiently. Last time I used one was to
take the water pump off the TA. No way was there sufficient clearance
for a socket.

Isn't progress great?!
