More than I was expecting
« on: 25 April 2014, 22:27:58 »

After unloading the smashed Lotus Carlton that a colleague brought in this afternoon, I had some time to kill. So I picked up the Sealey Promotional Catalogue and started leafing through it. I was surprised to find the spanner for adjusting the V6 tensioners is on offer, and as my kit didn't come with one, checked the price. £30 reduced from a list price of £50!!!!

For that money, I'll stick with my homemade one; a 30mm 1/2" drive socket with the worn drive bored to take the torx socket, and then welded to a short, bent length of steel bar. Cost, nothing, Effectiveness, 100%

Yes outrageous price. Even reduced.

If the spanner is £50 retail, then the rest of the locking kit must be made of cheese. Which it isn't.
