roger.england Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Being relatively new to the club and web site, my apologies if this has been asked before, but I can't find anything that relates. Does the club possess any tools that it loans to members? I can see a need for some more specialised tools myself in the future, but equally I have a number of tools that may not be in the average tool kit that I would be happy to make available to other members.If there's any merit in this, I'll list what I keep tucked away in the garage that other members can make use of.Roger (Vitesse at the painters - getting frustrated because its taking so long - want something to fettle because I've run out of things to derust, buff, paint, fondle, swear about, replace, listen to, drive, enjoy........about all I can do is talk about it.......think I'm losing it!) ::) ::) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve AKA vitessesteve Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 RogerSome of the local area meetings of the club have tool hire/borrowing schemes in place. Suggest you have a chat with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger.england Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Thanks Steve - when I get the car back I'll go to a local meeting and see what's on offer.Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 To be honest Roger I do not think the Club does not hold any tools that are available for hire.With a Vitesse, I think the only special tool you need are Spring Lifting Tool (Have a look at the Haynes manual to see one- these can be fabricated at local engineering establishments, and poss the churchill tool to correctly shim the rear hubs- this can be done by a specialist such as Moordales.Otherwise its good old traditional tools!

roger.england Posted February 22, 2007 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 My previous "toy" was a Porsche so had come to expect special tools as a way of life! Glad to hear that I won't need many on the Vitesse. For what its worth I have a metal guillotine, a sheet metal bender (manual variety), compression tester, carb balancer, bench grinder with mops (ideal for buffing up the stainless trim), torque wrench, set of UNF / UNC taps and dies. Happy for members to use them if needed.RegardsRoger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
