I've seen roverconnection advertise a "Genuine" toolkit that fits in the rear door pocket.The tools look pretty basic from what I can tell from the picture. I was wondering if someone could tell me what's in it(exact sizes etc.) so I don't have to spend the $150 price tag on it. | ||

lug wrench, wheel chocks, handles for the jack, gloves, and a pouch for the wheel lock if needed. please don't spend that much on one. Post a part wanted ad and get a used one. | ||

Steve, I totally agree with Lewis. It is not worth $150. The tools in it are very LOW quality - a few of mine broke when just a tiny bit of pressure was used with them. I tried to find better quality tools that would fit into the spaces in the molded plastic that holds them secure without success. The case itself is nice and could be very handy. Someday I plan to cut the molded plastic out of mine and store something else in it. To answer your question of exact sizes: Roll of (electrical?) tape. Unusual gloves 21mm (spark plug?) socket 10mm socket 11mm socket 12mm socket 13mm socket 4 wrenches (not sure of size - numbers say 10,11,12,13 9" long adjustable pliers Black plastic handle with: -5 1/2" inch piece of straight metal that goes in it (one end has flathead, the other end is phillips) -an "L" shaped piece of metal that goes in it (one side is 5" long with phillips head, the other side is 2" long and I think that end just fits in the black plastic handle) 6" long square nose pliers 3" socket extension 6" socket extension Another extension (?) that is almost 8" long and kind of looks like a hammer from the side Finally, there is this little thing that almost looks like those sample paint color things that slide open in the shape of a fan (obviously, I have no clue what this thing is): it is 2" long, apprx 1/2" deep with 6 smaller slats when slide open. The "slats" are numbered .51mm, .61mm, .71mm .81mm, .91mm, 1.02mm Sorry for the sketchy descriptions - I am slowly learning about tools as I have had to actually use them. Still hope this list helps you out some. Maybe someone else will know what the parts are that I did not know the names of? Jamie | ||

The "slats" thingies are feeler gages. That's what you use to gap your spark plugs to the appropriate gap. Or in my case, I use them to clean the grease from under my nails since I usually have some from always working on the Rover. | ||

Thanks for the giggles!! It stays in the plastic box with the tools that haven't fallen apart when I use them  | ||

Fork is kind of hard to see in uploaded pic. It is in the center section to left of the orange knife . Handle is tan with dark blue flowers on it (fork tines are facing toward the left outer edge). Feeler gages??? Hmmm... that's not what I used them for. I bent them all up - it takes 2 pairs of pliers to pull them open. Thanks, Jamie | ||

'with dark blue flowers on it ' all joking aside, you have a great set up Jamie! | ||

Yeah, Koby... just what I was thinking. Thanks for the flattering pictures of everyone. Rob | ||

If you really want a fork just like mine (ha ha), it is from the old phaltzgraph "folk art" pattern. However, they're very old and I don't think they are available anymore. I've got several more and I could mail you one!! My other forks are not flexible like the phaltzgraph, so they don't work as good as these do. I'm partial to these because the tines bend back before I can break whatever I'm working on. For example, when I use the fork as panel popper and try to use too much force at an incorrect angle, the tines bend all the way back and loose grip of the panel popper instead of forcing the thingy out and breaking it in the process (oh geez, did that make sense?) I just put the fork under my shoe and pull on it to straighten the tines again - then start over. When I get the angle correct, the panel popper thingy just pops right out. I have not broken one yet using this method. Pics look like you were having a fun time. I have no clue who is who. Back when I was given the "assignment" of reading Discovery Tech thread to learn, I sort of remember a pic of a bunch of guys without clothes sitting in a hot tub. For some reason, I think maybe it was cold outside and it was snowing in the pic?? In any case, I remember thinking: oh my gosh, these people are looney tunes!! |
