Axle Wrench
« on: July 15, 2022, 01:24:26 AM »
Bit of a long shot, but looking for the double holed Axle wrench, found in CB450, CB500 & CB750 toolkits circa 1970. (and indeed seeking the original C spanner / point file!)/

Conditions unimportant; can supply a Hampshire postal address.

That's a spanner I have never seen before. Fascinating. Probably not great to use but nice to have....

Correct Bryan, the UK CB750 K2 from 1972 to 1975 had 9900626000 that replaced 89202-283-000 ;)

Trig… not for my K2, but rather the Sandcast.

Cheers Nige; many such ‘adverts’ which are basically click bait. The clue is the Nil Stock, plus ‘Discontinued’. Been down this route too many times with other crap; they take your money, 3 days later tell ya, “n/a”, and then 3 weeks later finally refund the monies. (The ‘one’ you refer too is rather the number of wrenches you wish to order methinks.)
Apologies for sounding ungrateful… which I’m genuinely not, rather, I appreciate your time & efforts!

Btw… does anyone know the size of the dual sockets? I’m guessing one at 27mm; and the other???

Edit - regardless… I’ve just emailed them to be sure.

….. managed to obtain the double holed Axle Wrench, as part of a complete’ish kit - and @ great cost 🙁.

I’m still short the file, and can’t get any useful info as the Part # search produces zip. I’ll (interim) insert a modern file, can anyone advise whether the handle is flat or rod like pls? (Part #9, and a pic would be great if possible pls)

Finally the suspension adjuster - I’m told the kit I’ve bought actually has a CB550 part here… anyone able to sell me or swap the correct CB750 / CB750K1 adjuster? (Part #5)

Ta,
Simon

File had a round handle IIRC.

Very rare. Only ever seen 2 or 3.

Not 100% sure but the wrench may be a 26mm one not 27mm. One of them anyway.

Cheers Ken…. scratching my head why a file would be supplied now I think of it? Wasn’t a small bit of Emery paper part of some ‘kits wrt points cleaning?

It's for refacing the points as you suspected.

Were they a needle file from engineering shop like this


[ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Available from t-internet  :) https://www.shirearchery.co.uk/shop/arrow-materials/arrow-making-tools/flat-needle-file/ this one is good quality make but expensive.
If so, most engineering supplies should have stock like the above with no handle added to the basic file.

Thanks Nige, have seen similar and will order a round handle piece such as yours once I better know the file / handle lengths - which I’ll guesstimate on arrival of my ‘kit.

Cheers Bryan. Haven't bought anything yet, tho’ any file will never be used in anger; it’s only job to complete the toolset and look OEM. (Until such time I can find an original)
