Merlin tool kit

Tooling around….

Cool,maybe a thread started up with all the cool tools that you need to do different tasks.Some of the stuff,formers and tinbashing stuff I have had to make for the Spit.. 😀
Nuff to send yo crazy!!!!;)

On the subject of Merlin tools… I picked this up, which is PERFECT for the intake plugs on a Merlin 🙂

Long enough & thin enough so you can reach across without stuff getting in the way when removing plugs.. & you can stick a crowsfoot on the end for removing the leads from the plugs.

Almost looking forward to having a P51 show up with a misfire..:D

It comes in 1/4, 3/8 & 1/2in versions. I have the 1/4 & 3/8 🙂 The elbow swivels 180deg total & the ratchet head swivels a bit more than that.

Nice pics..Thanks for that.Yes the old brain fade moments…Put a tape measure down,look back in ten seconds and you forget where you left it…..:rolleyes:
Lucky I,m off the tools now and in the office..Now where is that biro…..

Had a senior moment, just walked out to the garage & found my camera sitting with some tools. So here ya go:

Thanks mate,greatly appreciated.Never know when it will come in handy..

Took a bunch of detailed digipics… & then left my camera at work.. so tune in on Monday for the next thrilling episode..

Hi guys.We have been asked to do a small service on the cutaway Merlin 61 at our museum.Was wondering what is needed in the standard Rolls Royce Tookit for spanners etc..:o

We have one at the hangar, I’ll take pics & list whats in it tomorrow if I have time. I’m elbow deep in a DC2 & a P51 tho so time may be a bit short.

Isn’t the famous one the 2BA?

Yes, only Rolls-Royce could invent their own nut.
It was done to fit with the BSF tools, which is quite logical, except for the fact that the numerous 1, 3, 4 and 5BA hardware still requires a BA kit. :confused:

False alarm guys..Service according to curator is take off perspex box,clean and give it a good spiffy up..Damn,now I have to put back the A Frame,lifting slings,scaffolding,assorted rags,preferably clean,spare plugs,leads,spanners,washing basins and Nafti truck…
