One HELLUVA deal on diesel tools and valve shims
« on: February 25, 2011, 09:05:44 pm »
This isn't mine, and I don't know the seller, but it's a real good deal. The tools alone are worth about $100-200 if you bought them new. They look like good Hazet/Matra tools too. The shims sell for about $2-3 each new.

If you've got a couple of mechanical lifter cars, this is worth checking out.

I made my pliers from a pair of brake spring pliers and a old piston ring. They work great.

Thanks for watchin for things like this.
I dont usually check that section of the samba although I do check the water cooled parts section quite often.
He had some other parts he wanted to sell me but moneys tight so I had to pass.
Said he was gonna put them on the samba so might keep an eye out.
Here's a link he sent me that he said was about like what he had.
