There are no pictures with this list. The above list does not agree with
the tools that came with my 67 Tiger II. I have:
13/16"x11/16" open end wrench and a 3/4"x 5/8" open end wrench
both are "Superslim" brand made in England. I have (had?) one other
open end that I can not locate at the moment. I also have the "King Dick"
adjustable and the pliers. The pliers are black and look like a small
linesman pliers. I may have the screwdriver, but I think I beat
it up very bad ( not remembering where it came from). The screwdriver had
a wooden handle; but I am just not sure now. Of course I have the Jack
and the lug wrench. I don't know if the lug wrench is the "Wheel brace" or the
"Nave plate extractor" listed above. I have trouble with some British
"English". The "(bolt)","(nut)" and "UNF" above may be some leftover
old English from the time when they had "Winthroup" tools. Those were
different sizes from the USA and Winthroup Nuts and Bolts had different sizes
even though they were all called the same size (7/16"for example).
I once had a 59 Berkley that had Winthroup nuts and bolts. It was a real
pain as only worn out end wrenches or cresent wrenches would fit.
I don"t know if "Winthroup" is spelled correctly, sorry.
The Tool Roll Bag rotted out long ago. I may still have the buckle from it.
