I lost nearly all mine at the cambelt event, incl E9, E10, E11, E12, all of which I need tomorrow :(
Where could I pick some up today for reasonable cost?
-
On a Sunday....
Pains me to say it, but Halfords.

£23.. not bad... still bitter I lost mine though, I had a 14pc rail :(
-
Wheres the head clean, valve clean, valve lap, stem seal fit and head re-assembly day........
-
I think most people lost something or other that day. For some it was just tools, for others their sense of balance ;)

Might I sudgest getting this one:

It has all the bits you have lost plus includes a number of the star drive bits required for head removal and re-fitting.....so if your existing ones break during the bolt tightening process.....you have a spare....

I have a Halfords rail, I think its something like E10 to E20, not sure. Its only 3/8 drive, but you are welcome to borrow.
There is a E20 1/2" in my camlock kit as well.

I think I'm going to have to take you up on that Jaime... I've lost so many tools I need to get some money up together and go shopping! I could also do with borrowing your angle gauge! I promise I'll bring it all back safe and sound... hopefully in the Elite!!!!

No probs ;)

thats odd james about loosing them, i only have one extra from the party and it was ClarCE's
-
It was after that, I think when we went over to the V6 lot.. I left a lot of stuff on the floor out of sight... silly really. Not saying for one minute anyone intentionally had anything, but a mixup would have been easy.
Plus, I was so sh*tfaced .. anything could have happened....
-
I'm nearly back to full compliment. Just missing the rachet spanner (possibly left/lost on MaxV6's car), an E20 3/8 Halfords socket, and the short extension bar from the Halfords set (not sure if this was lost afterwards?)

You mean when working on Max's car?

Possibly, possibly not :-/
More likely it was missing from cambelt party, but I didn't notice.
I'll drop Max a note, just on the offchance that it was at his, and he's found it.
Did you notice it in the box at Max's?

I'm afraid the Garage has been completely emptied, (even the Freezer and Beer fridge have gone... ) in preparation for building work , and not a single socket, spanner or other useful tool appeared that didn't already belong there..... ( I have NO Torx Sockets at all.... only regular jobbies in a small Halfords kit)
we found LOTS of used latex gloves though ! and a knackered transfer pipe and stat housing....
i was kinda hoping for a briefcase with used £50 notes but no such luck...

As said, I suspect lost here... ...only bit you may have is the spanner hanging off your handbrake, though I suspect that has long dropped off now :o
