I'm in the boat with ppl who can't afford to buy many new things. If anyone had a used pully tool and belt tensioner tool they could give me a deal on or even just let me borrow them for a bit. That would be very cool.
thanks

 

Depending on your location, if you contact your local club, you MIGHT be able to borrow a set.

 

Where are you located? Let me know. I have both tools. Spike

 

Omaha

 

Omaha huh? Last time I was there (early May) I saw a couple of MINIs. I don't know if there's a club there yet. There was some discussion in the Midwest forum about a NE club starting up. Zyamfier is in NE, and CyebrOgre is in Omaha just to name a couple.

 

Ref the Tension Tool: Think you can build one? Or know a bud at a muffler shop?

I'll be happy to send you some info on the one I just made today. Took me about 45 minutes to build it. That includes the mock-up and welding - $4.96 worth of 1/4" flat stock steel from HD, a 0.38 cents 1/4" roll pin and some scrap 1 1/2" pipe.

Well these aren't the finished shots - I've dipped the handle in some Plasti Dip coating
