Hi Chris -
I am a complete nerd in this department and just recently purchased the
Lucas voltage regulator adjustment tool. As far as I am aware, there really
isn't a very good work around other than possibly a shielded slotted
screwdriver (or heck, a Thor knock off hammer when it really needs "fixin").
I'll send a pic when I unpack my house in a couple of weeks.
Cheers,
Alan
