Bill, Over the years I have bought the specialty tools from several dealerships that had gone out of business.Of course a lot of the popular tools were missing but it is amazing how many of the kits received in the later years just before they went out hadn't even been opened. I haven't built an engine recently so I don't know for sure where it is but will look thru my building and see if I have duplicates. If I can find it I may be able to duplicate it with my lathe, or at least furnish exact measurements so other club members could make their own.
