And.... How you made it would be helpful

I'm surprised this thread isn't a sticky yet. It would be great for reference.

Three things that will make anything sticky
1) Honey
2) Wet Paint
3) Rubber cement

Here is my latest tool.
When I got back to Tarija yesterday after 5 weeks in Santa Cruz I decided I should fill the carbs before cranking. So this handy tool jumps the two terminals of my fuel pump switch, turning it on and filling the carbs.

It doubles as the garage door key.

This took too much fussing. Next time I'll use and electronic scale.

Here's the Tranny Topper (patent pending) I made to top up the gear oil in my transmission. Pour the desired amount in the cup, place end of pipe in the filler hole, and pull out the stopper. The cup has graduation marks (it's a liquid laundry detergent cap). Didn't spill one drop!

I've seen, owned, and used some of these, some of these are very simple and look very effective.

Good thread!

This is posted elsewhere by others but should be included in this thread. When removing the emergency cable from the backing plate use a small hose (screw type) to hold the fingers down on the flange.

I just used a single toothbrush bristle to clean out a discharge port in my carb. I held the bristle with long handled needle nose pliers.

Click to see before and after pictures.

Moto showed a long section {24"} of allthread with a plate on one end and bolts on the other. That tool is used to release the springs from the crossmember of an FC. at least the one we made was used for that vehicle.

really slick and safe!!!

btw, still wrap a chain around it when re-installing springs and shocks...

It would help if we could tag the pix with the tool function, and I agree, a STICKY would be great. that is if we all want to recognize we need help installing parts...

Here's a Valve Spring tester that uses a Torque wrench!

Decades ago... no one owned a specific tester , like those sold today for $80 plus..

And Corvairs are upside down... valves above the pushrods...then there's the engine sheet metal in the way.

I recently found this in my stash of tools / parts from a long time ago, when Greg Miller looked like he might need it...

The older part requires the rockers be removed...and a long bolt is used thru a Block stud hole in the head if the head is off the engine.

Being older and lazier... I fab'd up the Claw.. to allow use with the rockers installed..

Thats pretty cool matt!

Found the differential adjuster sleeve tool my Dad made in the 70's at his shop.

The curved handle gets you over the center of the differential.

Kinda crude but works great...back then we made everything with an acetylene torch.

Here is another version of the differential adjuster sleeve tool. Mine can be used together with an impact wrench, for quick disassembly of a differential.
