Custom built or special tool ideas??

[Suzsmokeyallan]

Is there enough interest or ideas to create a new forum listing or a sticky about making special tools in your shop for certain applications.
Many times people come up with an innovative idea for solving a problem only to have it get buried in the past threads.
Naturally if you submit an idea you will need to supply photos and dimensions of the tool so others can easily recreate the item for themselves.

sounds like a great idea allan.

i will start it off .. a alt rotor puller made for me by SmokeyAllan

That is way more elegant than the one I came up with.

[oldjapanesebikes]

Heck, I'd pay money for one of those - looks nice !

[Suzsmokeyallan]

Really Ian? how much

Now some photos are coming in do we agree to make a 'tools category' for peoples ideas. YES or NO.

How much you ask ? Obviously, what it is worth ! That may however differ from the asking price ....................

I only had one hit on these. A very useful tool indeed.

Cripes! I missed that post somehow! I could use a GT550 and a T500 version please!

Well I sold the GT550 so don't need that one anymore Coyote, but if you happen to do a GT750 or T/GT500 one, then keep my name on the 'damn right I'll take one ! ' list !

[Suzsmokeyallan]

If you go to a bicycle store and buy the old style bottom bracket lockring tool it fits the GT perfectly, as well as ALL the bikes from then that use the four slot steering nut.
you can usually get one for a pittance.
This is a new twist on the tool with some extras thrown for around $24.00. You can see the adjuster nut end with the hook for the slot as well as other sizes.
