AC Owners Club - Replica Bristol Engine Cylinder Head Spanner
over on ACOC forum-looking for people to make the order up to 10 spanners. Graham |
Bristol 6-cylinder spanner
I don't seem to be able to use my Bristol Forum login on the AC club posts and I do not have Mr. Blythe's e-mail address. I would like to join in on the orders for the remanufactured spanner.

I'll transfer your interest, gents, and direct Tony to this thread.

A special spanner? Wrench to remove what?
This must be very special, as I have lost count on how many English cars I have repaired/dismantled with few 'special tools' ever required. Even the complex Japanese cars from the early years were really no problem is one is improvisational enough to grasp the problem. Unless, of course, one is looking to find tools for a kit that came originally with the car. The little adjustable spanner with the marque's name, such as early Jaguars comes to mind. Any competent machine shop can reproduce most any tool.

I would be interested in one of these as well.

The very special cylinder head spanner.
Gentlemen: The is a box wrench, and they have been manufactured since the earliest days of automobiles. The common name is a 'start wrench' and as the name implies, it is used to reach that top-most bolt holding in so many starters. They usually come in two sizes that fits most starters. As to remanufacture, the process is called CNC machining, and once the program is written, you may pop out as many replicas as you care to produce. You may even have them engraved, blackened, hardened and the rest. One 'original' will do, and the rest is simple economics.

I have been having exact replicas made from top quality tool steel for a long time now that are fit for purpose and fit into the 400 tool box ! Everyone that has purchased them are very happy so please PM me if you want one ?
Thanks Greg |
And I'm sure that I posted pictures etc at the time they were first manufactured ! Let me know if you need pictures and please let the AC club know they don't need to spend money on tooling.

Search under head spanner on this forum and you will see my pics of the existing replica available now

Greg,
I have never seen your link to one for sale. Whats the price? I have seen you have bumpers etc for sale but not the spanner. Can you post up photos of your replica and the price. Graham |

Thank you Kevin, as I was struggling to post more pics from the eye pad ! And thanks Ronnie for describing what it isn't :-) but at least you are an expert and very knowledgeable on what it isn't.
Just joking ! :-) |
