Piston ring clamps..

Yea nice one! . They used to have a page of ideas like that in the 60's late 70's in MCM. You sent your ideas in and won a a quid or two or something like that if they were published :D. Things like using brass bits from a 5amp 'round pin' mains plug as a temporary nipple on a throttle cable. Then 'Bike' magazine came out and ridiculed them for stuff like that and it all stopped. Mark Williams of 'Bike' mag fame once did a short piece on my 400/4 ... never seen so many gaffes in such a small column of text ... he even published that I was restoring a 'rare 750 Sandcast' which I wasn't ...its a diecast. I got well ribbed on that one when it was published.
Cheers .. Ash

Yep,
definitely one for the archive - we should have a page of these tips and simple special tools which have been made to get around a problem (no, not a 2lb hammer!) As you say Ash, editors occasionally make a complete mess of articles sent in and they often loose the meaning by leaving bits out.
Right, off now to finish making that device for removing Boy Scouts from Girl Guides' knickers (can I say that? I might get a smack on the head from that Nurse!)

No smack on the head from me Ian........it does sound intriguing and an interesting project for the day though ;D ;D

It's better than mole grips I suppose. That's what one usually turns to when one doesn't have the proper tool for the job ;)

Bottle Green or Navy variety Ian ;D
