When I saw Kelly's tools advertised in the For Sale part of this forum I put my order in for the entire lot that would fit the Camargue and finally they have arrived in Australia and are stored on my table in my outback country lair. These tools are very reasonably priced and the quality of the tools and the finish on them is superb being more than likely far superior to the original RR/B tools which are always accompanied by a loon expensive price. Kelly has really given Crewe a savage crew cut here. There is nothing worse when working on this Marque than totally buggering a good part because you don't have there correct tool for the job. The cylinder liner puller he made for me is a real brute. Most of the special sockets are fabricated from stainless for ball joints to brake pumps. For an outlay of approximately two thousand AUD its great piece of mind to know I now have everything apart from the parts to get the Camargue back on the road. | ||

Kelly, If this message is approved by the moderator, would you be able to manufacture the Valve Assembly Holder RF 5214 for the Bentley MK VI and possibly e mail me with the details. I can collect it in the USA . Many thanks to you and David Gore. (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

Martin, according to a Google search, this is RF5214  I can certainly make this but as I've never even seen a Mk VI, I'd need a little more information. I designed the tools I have for sale out of necessity to work on my own Shadow. If you could provide a drawing, with thread specifications, or an actual tool to copy, we could go from there. I suppose if you had access to a tool you wouldn't need me though. Kelly | ||

I suspect this tool goes into the spark plug hole and holds the valve up so one can attach the valve spring retainers. So you would need the spark plug thread size the angle of the spark plugs etc. A curly one for you Kelly. Info may be in the forums library. | ||

Thanks Kelly and Vladamir, I don't have any dimensions as the only depiction are either photos as above or the drawings in the list of parts. Vladamir is quite correct about the spark plug threads etc. But as the 90degree bend is there to support the inlet valve I don't think that dimension is overly critical.
