Tools – prototype transmission wrench
Quentin asked me to make a wrench to fit a locking nut, in Syncro transmission. Fits the nut fine, not sure yet if it clears other components in the stack. Has to be tested. The centre of the 1/2” drive hole is 2.000 inches from the centre of the nut when engaged. So you can easily do the calc to adjust torque. It’s a simple thing, waterjet cut 1/4” steel plate.
Just interesting – waterjet cutting titanium
1/4” plate. First time we cut titanium. Was startling, but no surprise to those who do it a lot .
Tools – make a deep socket 52mm
Needed for classic landrover axle nut. Over built solution

Surprise for me is how sturdy the set up is
