Nottingham!! That's the Omega capital of the UK !!

Halfrauds do the radio release forks, around £2.99, they also do sets of allen keys with one small enough for the grub screws

Don't worry - it won't be near silence.

You will hear all those noises you never noticed before ...

Where abouts in Nottingham are you....?

I have released radios before now using 4 terminal screwdrivers or 4 small drill bits pushed into the holes. It's a bit more tricky bending all of them inwards at once but not impossible.

last month i stole 4 plastic cothangers from swmbo's wardrobe , and cut out the metal bts to use as substitute radio keys

when my will is read out and my possesions divided.( in a good few more years yet i hope)
someone is going to be left a shoe box full of choped up coathangers and radio keys
