On my triumphs,no . But my tool box has several modified tools with
special purpose. One is for removing the air filter from my TR2 -
shortened wrench as there is no other way I have found.
My great uncle - who's cars and tool box I inherited had several mystery
tools - bent, ground, shortend... And over the years I've found a use for
each of them. I feel very connected to him while working on the car and
with his special tools.
