Re: Does anybody make, or have, the 1929 crank cover/hubcap cover removal tool?

If the tool for sale was just a one off original then you are probably correct and no one reproduces them. Is it specifically the correct tool only that you wanted or do you just need something to remove the crank hole cover.
If cover removal is all that is needed, what is the width for the hex recess as measured across the flats. If it is a standard US size or maybe something in between that a metric size might work with, what about getting a hex head bolt or nut in that width and weld it onto a handle. That would be about as inexpensive as it gets and might do the job until another proper tool comes along.
You might find an offset wench that comes in the size for the other end of the tool but the larger size offset wrenches are somewhat expensive. The size wrench that appears to be inside the crank hole end and used for whatever other function might be the only one not able to be worked around.
