It might come in useful .........

On my last garage clear out I binned/ gave away some things I hung on to because it 'might come in useful one day'.......

A one litre tub of valve lapping paste. Borrowed from work in 1978. Haven't lapped a valve since 1988.
I hung on to the Chemico coarse/fine tin that I've had since 1972..... Plenty left. Remember them?

A four inch ( 110mm) single end AF ring spanner. Nothing outside heavy industry is That Big. Source of spanner: as above. What can I say: it was shiny. And looked lonely. So I gave it a retirement home.

An A Series top end gasket set. For a Midget sold in 1977. Damn kids.... Should have sold our Keith and kept the car.

An SU HS 6 twin carburettor overhaul kit ( for Dolly Sprint: car sold in 1986)

I refuse to give up my modified half inch Whitworth open end spanner: cunningly bent to remove my mates Reliant Regal Supervan carburettor. In 1973. You never know.......

Funny you posted this I have just been in my garage looking for something and found a valve spring compresser used once in 19??

Ah, the good old valve spring compressor! Still got my one from the seventies!
