![]() 2314 forum posts 139 photos | That looks very smart Mark. I agree with the QCTP Buy the post and a few holders to get you going and add others as you go along - it's only " Quick Change" if you have lots of holders! Norman |

![]() 694 forum posts 2 photos | Mark, You only really require one C spanner. You can get away with and old cycle bottom bracket spanner that can be found at car boot sales for a few pence. There is a picture of one being used on this site from Nobby I think. Otherwise make one. A bit of marking out, chain drilling, hacksawing and filing will do it. This is what model engineering should be about - getting satisfaction from making your own tools and fixtures as the need arises. Eric |

127 forum posts | Mark I have a Dewhurst switch and Myford bracket (taken off my S7 when I went 3-phase which you are welcome to for nothing. But as I am disabled you would have to collect it from Henfield in West Sussex. If it is of interest pm me and let me know. Richard. |
