Hi Everyone,
I am in the process rebuilding the rear axle on my Nippy. One of the jobs I have just completed is to rivet new brake linings onto the shoes. Unfortunately I didn't have the correct Austin service tool riveting punch. Having said that I managed to make a punch that has done the job well.
The reason I started this thread is that the above got me thinking. How many of the genuine Austin service tools from the 1936 (or earlier) publication are still in use/existence today in peoples workshops and garages? It would be great to see some pictures.
Thanks
Matthew
