[R-390] R-390a tools

[Chris Farley]

Hi all, 

Turns out the R-390 yahoo group has been abandoned- Luckily one of your fellow list members alerted me about this list.  Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a very user friendly way of searching the archives, at least that I've found so far.  

Anyway, I am in the process of reproducing the always missing spline wrench, from the back of the R-390a.  Ultimately a decent quantity will be available, I will post when they are in my hands and know what the end cost will be.  I have an original wrench for a sample, but not the companion screwdriver.  

That being said:  

I am looking for a few Signal Corp “EDMICS drawings”.  (Engineering Data Management Information 
and Control System).  Apparently a CD was made available sometime in the past, but I have not yet found anyone who has a copy, nor have I found any of the files online.  They are as follows:  


- Bristol Wrench:
Wrench Assy, SM-B-249114
Wrench, SM-B-249197 (the spline part)
Handle, SM-B-249109

- Phillips Screwdriver:  

SM-B-249198   

There is a currently produced equivalent for what is reportedly an acceptable replacement for the screwdriver, but it measures about 1" shorter than the line drawing shown in the Depot service manual appears.  Just trying to nail this bugger down once and for all.  

Likewise, if someone has solid information for the non-A R-390 and R-388 tools, it would certainly be helpful for possible production in the future.
