General Tech What tools are these?

[ghawk16]

So I was going thru some of the boxes of miscellaneous parts my grandpa had left behind for my dad and came across a box of tools. I have a good idea of the two to the far right (panel pullers) and the one 4th from the right (piston ring spreader?), but anyone know what the others might be? The one on the top left looks like it may be used for valves or something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks


Good thing is I found a lot of extra parts that could be rebuilt and saved
1. Original horn button (plastic is a little cracked, but could be repainted)
2. Two spare rear wheel cylinder assemblies (rebuild and keep as spares)
3. Clutch Slave Cylinder (will have to repair both units and keep as spares if I go HVDA and want to go back to stock)
4. Original Canister Oil Filter Housing (currently has spin-on)
5. Spare set of SU6 Carbs w/ filters and Intake Plenum
6. Spare Exhaust Manifold (old style...darn)
7. The original coil (that's going back on once it's tested and the Japanese one is coming off)
8. Spare wiper motor
9. Thermostat housing (will be tossed as it's in VERY poor shape)
10. New voltage regulator
11. Spare Generator
12. And of course have a spare rebuilt transmission (no OD units)

All good tools to have. Pretty much unbreakable.

Far right looks like a tack puller
next to it a drum brake adjusting tool
left of that could be a clamp or sparker to light a torch
Left of that snap ring plier

The one on the right might be a door panel puller, or just a tack puller.
2nd from right is a brake adjustment spoon.
3rd from right is used to keep the pistons on wheel cylinders from popping out when removing the shoes.
The brake tools are definitely from the drum brake era. Wonder what our grandchildren(or some future archaeologist) will make of the British car specific stuff we will leave behind?

Aaahhhh....that makes sense, since most of the tools seem to be brake related. I've been using that as a welding clamp for so long I thought that was what it was for!

I can't quite tell for sure, but the L shaped one 3rd on from the left could be a valve seat removal tool for water faucets with the old style brass or chromed seats that screw into the faucet base.

I have one of those and used it to replace the seats in the bathtub and sinks in my old house.

Are the ends blade shaped like a screw driver or tapered square ends. If it has tapered square ends I say valve seat removal tool.

Awesome...thanks guys. I really appreciate it. While I've owned cars with rear drum brakes, I have NEVER taken any apart so never had any use for the tools. But I'm glad if I'm going to be rebuilding mine and making them pretty again I'll have some tools to help.

One end is square and the other has either 5 or 6 sides...I forgot and would have to look again.

Large "L" shaped tool (3rd from left) is the tool used to remove faucet seats. If your grandpa would have shopped in our hardware store in the 1970s, he could have bought it from me.
