Ira,

Not bad but most folks wanting a tool kit want it for Concours and right
off the bat, the tool roll is not correct.  The open end spanners, valve
lapping tool handle, and grease gun are for the very early cars only which
limits who might buy this kit.  The bent wire screwdriver and one of the
tyre levers are bent.  It would take me 30 seconds in my bench vice to
straighten these.

It's also missing several (seven) items to include the Hammer, Nubrex
grease gun adapter (truly "Unbobtainium"), the tyre valve stem tool, two
bladed feeler gauge, front hub cap puller, Lucas ignition tool, and the
rear axle drain plug tool.

Attached is my 100% complete, 90% original BN1 tool kit circa Jan. '55 but
applicable through BN2 production. I could just change out the combination
pliers.  Mine are NOS "El Moto", but I have a set of "Wilkinson's", "TW"
and "529" that I could substitute.  The only reproduction parts in my kit
are the lead hammer custom made by Roger Moment and the two bladed feeler
gauge. The small "Austin" tappet spanner is missing from my first photo.
Also attached is one of the five different lifting jacks, in this case an
all original LJ23 54 jack and handles for my Jan. 11, '54 BN1.

BTW I have forgotten your three trafficator screws.

Cheers,

Curt
