Thanks for that, Graham. Order for a pair of spanners has been duly placed 

Steve

Let me check that,  it does not sound correct. OK I had the weight incorrect so it pushed it to the next shipping band.

Try again.
Graham.

Well done, chaps.
One thing I've noticed though (speaking as a Yorkshireman    ) is that as I need one of each of the two spanner sizes, the postage for two ordered together is £1.50 more than two ordered separately  That's nigh on enough for a pint

Can you included me as one who would like to buy a fir cone spanner too please!

Better size and thinner copper washer on Ebay!  The 46mm would have needed a bit of filing to fit.  Cheaper too.

Just found a 46mm copper washer on Amazon after failing with normal searches.https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EZZOMZ4/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Count me in too !

[Ken the Sec]

Just come across this thread while exploring the forum.  Graham, if it is not too late I would be interested in a set of spanners - my plug holder seems to need tightening every few hundred miles.  Maybe I should get a copper washer too!

Graham, the brass cap that holds the 'flint' is 1.730" whilst the fir cone is an ominously beastly 1.666"

Guys can you do me a favour measure the across flats dimension of the Fircone caps and the spark plug holder.

I have measured mine  as 1.727" across the flats for both fircone and spark plug holder.

Thanks, John. Email on its way.

You can certainly put me down for a pair of spanners when they're available. Good work, chaps.
On a related matter, has anyone found a reliable supplier of the actual fir cone valve cap? It would save me having to make one from scratch or obtaining a 'blank' from the Austrian supplier. Mine's getting fins as thick as Mr Creosote's proverbial 'waffer-thin mint'.

Steve send an email to Vic Youell he had a new on in the club spares, he showed it to me at the meeting in Windsor..John

Hi John
I will finish off the cad drawings and send them over to you might not be until Monday if thats ok.
Graham

[johnguppy]

That would be great I am going over to get some  metal  next week  and could pop in and  ask them  for a quote  so drop me a  PM and I will  get a quote 

regards
John

[shorrog]

Hi John
Better still I can send a CAD file in DXF format which the laser cutters and water jet printers can use, we can then get quotes and decide on how to proceed.
Graham

Graham

I can get these water cut   if you can scan the  spanners at 100%  300DPI  a  local  firm   will cut them   if not   if you can send me  both spanners  I can have  some made  for new spares stock 

[shorrog]

Hi folks the club is thinking of getting some spanners made for the large fircone valve caps and also a C spanner for the exhaust nuts. Can any one recommend the type of steel we should use? They will be laser cut from 6mm steel plate
