Tech Meet of May 25, 2002

This tool engages the

flywheel when the

starter is removed and

locks the engine from

spinning. This allows

removal of the damper

nut in front.

Copper tubes are used

thru the head and block

to pass oil down thru

water passages. They

must be swaged

(flared) at each end.

Here you can see an old

tube, a new one, and

the tools used. The flair

tool with the "T" handle

and slide hammer is

what I made for the job.

The slide hammer helps

tap out the tapper if it

gets stuck.

Shown are the camshaft

roller and pin with the

two tools used to fit

new ones into the

valve follower. Note the

pin wear.

A socket was adapted

with rods to fit the 4

pin plugs holes for

removal. See the plugs

in the above picture.

A very specific hub

puller made just for the

removal of the vibration

damper on the front of

the crankshaft.

Two tools were made to

remove this gear. One

to hold it from turning,

and the 4 prong socket

to remove the castellated

ring nut.

This tool was made for

adjusting the wheel

spoke nuts.

You spin the wheel on

a hub with bearings

to true the wheels.

This tool kit is for use

in removing the wheel

hub nuts. These are

kind to the plating of

these parts.

The tool that came with

these cars is shown at

top left in the picture

below. Use of this type

hub remover almost

always causes damage.

A steering wheel puller

made just for this

steering wheel type.

The major tools stowed

in the rear compartment

for: Hub removal

Jacking the car up

Air tyre pump

Chassis lubrication

A batch of tools I bought

for the car. They are shown prior to restoration.

The list of tools for this car may be found in the

parts books published for

the 20 HP.

Many other tools have been found thru other

sources.

Some of the tools in the

parts book for a 20 HP.

These are not for use on

the road, so they are

not kept in the car.

These are a few of the tools

listed in the parts book

that are carried in the

car for show and use if

necessary.

Each has a part number

"C" spanners and two

nut spanners that are

specific by parts number

for this model 20 HP.

Spanners listed in the

parts book.

Each has a part number

These are British

Standard or Whitworth

tools and make up a

"commonly needed"

set to carry in the car.

These are not RR tools,

but are maintenance tools.

The hand crank tool. If the battery won't crank the car, chances are it will still provide current sufficient for the coil. One simply hand cranks the car in that case.
