Somebody asked me for a list of the spanners I offered for free - I can't remember who it was - so here it is.

Whitworths **********
DOUBLE-ENDED RING :-

ELORA 7/16 + 1/2

WILLIAMS 7/16 + 1/2

BRITOOL 1/2 + 9/16
3/8 + 7/16

BEDFORD 3/8 + 7/16

GORDON 3/8 + 7/16
1/8 + 5/16 (x2)

OPEN-ENDED :-

SNAIL 7/16 + 9/16 (x2)
1/2 + 7/16
1/4 + 5/16

GARRINGTON 7/16 + 1/2
1/4 + 5/16

GORDON 5/8 + 11/16
9/16 + 5/8

BRITOOL 5/16 + 3/8 (x2)
7/16 + 1/2
1/2 + 9/16

EAGLE 7/16 + 1/2

A/Fs ************
OPEN-ENDED :-

SNAIL 15/16 + 1 1/8
7/16 + 1 1/8

SAE 3/8 + 7/16

Blank ? 7/16 W + 1 1/8 A/F

The "Snail" spanners are particularly "robust" but all are heavy except the smaller ones, so posting might be expensive???

Nobody has expressed an interest - do I have to take them down to the "Recycling Centre" to get rid of them - seems a shame?

I have accumulated a few more since the last post.

Alan, they sure are hard to re-home. I know as I have some that have been in gumtree for months. If you don't really care for money may I suggest something better than binning them.

Do you know anyone heading to the Federal Rally in May at Noosa? Bag them up and send them. Someone may give you a few dollars, or as I did at the All British Day up here, just give them away to some poor un-expecting enthusiast.

Perhaps there is an event closer to home which may have a need for Whitworth.

Thanks for the idea, Jason. One of the Beaulieu meetings should find a mark.

I believe that my brother used Whitworth spanners when working a 1960s Bristol bus built in England belonging to a society.
I could be wrong.
