Title: Special Tools
Post by: Matt_Harrington on March 28, 2023, 10:08:53 AM
I picked up quite a few special tools at the VMCC autojumble. (some are very dirty and need cleaning!!) I'm interested to know what the purpose of the tool in the right of the picture is used for. Anyone know?

Bugger, I meant to ask you to keep an eye out for some decent files, completely forgot as was netting. Was it any good Matt?

It was - lots of traders and the rain stayed off except for when I chose to eat a pasty from the wagon! - good job most was indoors!

I dont know about that tool, but a guess would be to rotate something that either had three studs, or one with two (the two opposed holes) to position the part.

Similar in current tooling to hold camshaft in place while replacing cambelt etc.

A possibility anyway.

I'm sure it is of no help but the central hole is threaded.... :-\

Can't remember seeing the right hand one on the Honda shadow board at Queenies, you sure it's a Honda tool? The modern ones these days are engraved with the part number so you can look them up and put them back in the right position on the shadow board. Got about 50 Honda special tools now, not cheap but they do work the best.

Yes, definitely an <HM> one. Also says 'KOWA Made' in Japan but no number on the tool

It has the look of a pre 70s tool, so possibly something like a CB160 or earlier.

By the time I started at Queenies they'd already ditched all the tools for the 60s bikes, probably not thrown away, just in a cupboard somewhere.

Ha! I will probably do the same - stash it in a cupboard!
