Since he ~started~ it.

This is a collection of stuff going across the planet in terms of make/model: English, German, Italian... the Yanks are represented too. One is a tool from my grand-dad's days. I don't recall it ever being demonstrated and can't be sure it's what I was told it is! Mebbe someone will recognize it and I.D. it for confirmation.


HERE'S YER SIGN!

Doc:

Porsche feeler gauge (for valve adjustment)on the right.

Bottom = Piston Ring Gap Measurement tool on bottom?

BTW, I still have a few Porsche tools in my box if you want em (nothing extravagant).

Patrick
 
Top left...Fuel injector remover...I have one of those. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
 
Thanks, but no thanks, Patrick! (you should recognize a few more of those thingies, BTW) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

One correct: Porsche feeler gauge. That "other thing" is a measuring device but not fer ring gap.
 
That's TWO!
 
I'll take a stab at the one over the "PAR"...It's used to compress the piston back into a caliper. Probably an old GM. The screw half of the tool is not shown.
 
That'n does require a piece of threaded rod in the center when used. 5/16" all-thread, about two feet long. But not for GM brakes... may have to try it out for that, tho. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Thanks Doc,

A few of them are really bugging the heck out of me.

Patrick
 
That hole looks bigger then 5/16". More like 5/8". If that's the case, being that the threaded rod is two feet long, then we're talking spring compresser. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
 
Nothing to do with springs. I have an inside source. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif
 
She's BRAGGIN' now. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

That's it. Blame me because you have all this stuff clutterin' up your shop! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

For the record, I don't recognise any of them. I can't wait to hear about the calipers in the lower right - something to do with front end alignment maybe?

The thing above it at the right looks like it could be used to pull up on the rear of a Elan hood/bonnet in case the latches won't open.
 
Learned that the tool (bottom right) can also serve as a body fat measuring device...Beer Bellies, excluded. Haven't found a tool to measure that, yet.

Okay! For the RECORD...I've been issued a scolding.
 
*SNORK!*

"Pinch-a-Inch!"

That tool only goes to 3/8" (for calibration purposes) FYI!!!
 
The round, silver thing over the "O" looks like a piston ring compressor...

The round thing thing over the "AR" with the sides cut off looks like part of a bearing/bushing install/removal set.

And the thing ove the "S" with the plastic handle looks like a terminal cleaner. Or a wrench for one of those triple-square socket screws the Germans love to put on cars...

I want to say the thing on the bottom is a rotor thickness measurer, but 3/8" max is mighty small...

I know I've seen that flat bar with the notches in it before, but can't remember where... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonod.gif
 
The tool over the 'ING' is used for releasing pin connectors in wiring harness plugs. Some of the prongs will work for Lucas wiring .

Sorry, occupational hazard! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Mickey
 
AlanT: Right. That'n is a BluePoint version. Handy tool, too.

Mickey's collar mold is actually the tool for centering CIS injection throttle plate... the notched bar is a Weber tool for checking float levels: 8mm & 10MM. The round block with the flats is an Alfa tool for pressing cylinder liners out of the engine block (1750 CC in this case).

The calibrated "pliers" are a K-D tool for guaging brake shoe linings, as a percentage of material compared to the backing plate.

The plastic handle "thingie" says "LUCAS ENGLAND" on it, BTW.
 
Awww... I was just about to guess the Alfa cylinder removal tool. It's shaped just like the liners.
 
I'm kinda surprised nobody so far recognise the "plastic handle" LUCAS thingie.

...and Bret needs that lower left green anodized socket-widget...
