Hi Gang.
Great group here.
I am writing to tell you about a cheap temporary replacement for the
bristo wrench. Go to Sears and in the tool departemnt, look for a
small rack with Torx wrenches. They are cheap (less than 3 bucks) and
made by Craftsman.
look for "professional T8 X 2-1/2 torx. they have a black handle with a
red top.
They are a "LITTLE" loose but do work. I think that if you ground off a
little bit of the end it would fit better as they are tapered. I have
used mine during my R390A restoration and it seemed to work fine.
Give it a try.
