What is it?

No, sir.

You guys feel free to guess again if this clue helps-

It is tubular with a spring inside.

It goes on a 22 rifle to hold the shells in?

My collection of stuff looks like most of you guys toolboxes. I do have something to try. These are measuring tools. Does anyone not what for?

I always called that first thing a "dibble".

I have no idea what the little wire measuring thingies are, but I am curious.

Me, too. Stumped on those. Look to me like they gauge hole sizes but on what? Those curved ends... Almost wonder if they ain't for carb linkages on like vacuum pots but they look too big.

Well its technically not the mag, it is the shell holder-in-er but yeah! Maybe you and I just need target practice, ha-ha.

I think we need a hint on the wire thingys. At first I thought some type of jig for squaring something up, but they are all the same hand.

Ask and yee shall receive.

For adjusting the clearance on clutch fingers?

kb426 · January 29, 2016, 05:37:43 PM

C.K. is correct. For those of you that might want to know, there are 3 adjustments on a long style clutch. Commonly referred to as a pedal clutch. The first is static spring pressure. The springs are matched to an application. On top of each spring is an adjuster. All I have used have left hand threads. Turning clockwise increases spring pressure to increase launch force. The next is the amount of counterweight put in the outer end of each lever. These are normally 1/4" bolts of varying lengths with spacers and nuts. This is usually referred to in grams. This affects the amount of counter weight assist in lockup force. The 3rd is lever height. The lower the levers, the smaller diameter the circle is formed by the counter weights. Smaller diameter = lighter force with less rpm. At extreme rpm this factor doesn't have near as much effect. With the levers real close to the cover, you will attain the maximum amount of weight from the counter weights as soon as possible. Before I got this set, I used long allen wrenches. I always had a string tied around them so if you dropped one in the can , it was easy to fish out.

These tools were long enough to prevent that from happening. I looked all over for a pic of the Hays billet hat clutch that I had in the early 90's and couldn't find one anywhere. That was the state of the art at that time.

We need us another whut-zis.

This one is from fast 401. The sheath is a bit of a red herring
