Subject: Re: Tool kits
Hi David,
What worries me is the 6" centre punch, inviting owners to commit butchery!
If your car is similar in that respect to the V12, the N/S (dummy) wheelcase should have a panel held on by the hinge plates that is leatherette covered and stitched to accept presumably all the smaller tools...can send a picture if yours is missing.
My tools (mainly) didn't come with my car but were purchased from the late John Finch...I was really pleased to find that many were stamped "WAR FINISH"...ideal for my car, registered December 1940! I can't recall now if they also came from John, but I've also got some Lagonda factory tools, stamped with an engineer's name.
Yes, happy to send pictures, please pm email address to me. I can't promise to get the pictures done soon, but as soon as I've got some spare time I'll find them & take them. Intrigued also to see what the valve spring compressor looks like...is this the special toolkit one that retains the valve via the spark plug orifice, thus enabling spring changes without removing the cylinder head?
