4AD tool roll and its contents
Posted: Wed Feb 20, 2013 8:38 pm
Hi All,
My 4AD restoration project is finally nearing completion and one of the finalizing touches is of course the tool kit. I have already earlier acquired and restored all the correct tools that are attached to the firewall. However the contents and construction of the original tool roll supplied also with the cars still needs some work.
There has been an article on the roadster tools by Bill Haverly in the MASCOT magazine in 1989 and that lists the contents of the 4AD tool roll are as follows:
- 4" screwdriver
- adjustable spanner (medium)
- distributor spanner
- set of 3 box spanners and tommy bar
- tyre valve remover
- tappet spanner
- 5/16" x 3/8" open ended spanner
- tyre levers
- oiling funnel
Here is a picture of some tools that I currently have and believe that may be from the original tool roll.
Can someone verify if any of these tools look correct? The bent round bar in the middle is apparently the tommy bar for the box (tube) spanner beside it, and should be straight. The flattened cone on the right is maybe the oiling funnel.
Also, a picture from an originals tools and a tool roll, even withut all the correct contents, would be really helpful so that I know what kind of tools to search for and could fabricate a tool roll that would look like the original.
Best Regards,
Pekka
