There was 2 in my mechanics drawer, one for "early" cars but it is completely differant with 2 pins... not sure if there are 2 differant sizes for the later years or not.... anyone?

I might have time today to sketch this up so we'll see how it goes.

 

Thats my recollection as well. One for early cars, one for later. 3.6 uses a different set up with two belts and a "triple square" on the alt. shaft.

 

a hammer handle works on all of them...maybe not a 3.6.

 

 

Ivangene, I can send you pics or dimensions of the factory tool kit spanner if you'd like.

 

I made 4 "prototypes" today... I am fairly happy with the function, a little rough looking but I have them out for bid... see if some local shop wants to knock out 20 or so of them - looks like the squeaky wheel gets one.... who was that

I will post pics tonight and take the first 3 names.... (keeping one for me)

I need some feeedback before I make a bunch of them with some small thing that could be improved based on comments

 

Why not make it a universal. Early cars on one end and late cars on the other.

 

universal items normally dont do either well... just stick with the plan

 

Put me in line. I need one.

 

PM me your address and I will drop one in the mail for you - no charge!

 

pics as promised - T6061 with stainless 3/16" dowel pin -

not the most beautiful things.... I "tried to hard" and used my angle tool with surface conditioning disc (Roloc - scotchbright) - turned out a tad ugly, next ones should be better, I spent more time on the tooling then the parts... now I have the tools and programs

 

Very nice indeed! Truly nice of you to do that for those in need.

Reminds me of the late 70's-mid 80's when I had the run of a large metal shop. I made many a custom bit for some off road race trucks/Jeeps of some friends. I could pretty much name my favor based on the stuff I built.

 

I think I am still WAY ahead on favors... everyday i get to ride in some of the best seats you can put in a car like ours

Thanks Ed - I think I will put some sort of a rubber dipped handle on future ones.. maybe even anodize them so they dont look all oxydized over time, but its fun to give back

 

Places like Eastwood sell the rubber dipping stuff.

 

Wow those thinks are totally awesome .. u could make a few bucks on fleabay with those ..
