Going from this:

To this:

I found these at a local shop for $70. There not perfect but will do just fine and save me about $175

Had to make a few new tools to remove some bolts on the rear cylinder. I ground down a 7/16 and 1/2 in socket to fit a 7/16 end wrench. Will also be needed to set the torque on assembly.

Looks like a good find and now you have some extra cash for more Chrome

how are you going to torque it ?

how are you going to torque it ?

Could use the combination wrench as an extension to the torque wrench & then use a torque wrench extension chart.

how are you going to torque it ?

The reason I used a 7/16 wrench is because my torque wrench fits the box end of the 7/16 wrench. The book says if I keep the 2 wrenchs at 90* it will cancel the multiplier effect and not over tighten the bolts.

Geezer I recommend you keep all the old covers and parts. I used mine several times already for painting ? When you want paint heads and not have problems with trying to tape things off, just use those old rocker boxes etc and old non chrome bolts. Spray to your hearts content. when you remove the old covers , Voila' perfect clean surfaces for reassembly with your nice chrome parts. Hope that idea helps someone.
