I have a complete K.R. Wilson Combination Tool for the Model T and Model A.
The ONLY thing I am missing is a set of the "W-G Quick Detachable Main Bearing Bolts", used to speed the work on attaching and removing the main bearing caps during engine work. I have a couple of questions:
It says a set of 6 are required. Are all 6 of the QD bolts identical? or do they have differences depending on which bearing they are used on?
Does anyone have one or two complete units of the bolt, the QD nut, and the handle, that they would be willing to lend to me for a couple weeks so I can duplicate a set for use on my machine? If they are ALL the SAME, then I only really need ONE complete QD bolt assembly to duplicate 6 of them. If they are different, I would like to examine the different ones to see what the differences actually ARE.
Thanks very much for anyone that is willing to loan one of these for a few weeks. Two weeks should be ample time to get drawings made, and probably turn out one 6 bolt set, especially if they are all the same and there are no differences for the different bearing positions.
You can send me a PM on here, or you can call me at 1-520-272-4752.

i noticed the price difference yesterday and revised the MTFCA listing to the $150 + postage pricing ...same items and same price as ebay ... i think i had failed to revise ebay pricing at the start of the year , but after doing a cost analysis i decided to stick with the $150 ... i built 10 sets this time to reduce setup time of doing multiple smaller production runs and purchased a larger quantity of material to also reduce cost ...i try to price my production items on a time/material basis ... thanks for the interest ...always an optimist Gene French
