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

Funny thing, I was doing some prototype work, I don't care to remember on what, and we needed one of those thin wrenches. I told them I thought I had one at home and I brought it in the next day. It was an old Craftsman tappet wrench.

So you can look on junkbay for some, or go to one of the tool companies like Cornwell, buy some long combination wrenches and grind them thin.

I love making my own stuff.

For the crank hole cover you can go to a plumbing supply and get PVC fixings to make up a non-marring tool or make one out of wood.

We never used tools on the disc wheel hubcaps. Almost all the 7th series and earlier cars are chewed up from that. Rubber strap wrenches from junkdepot work fine.
