[Spridgets] Bolster chisel

[David Booker]

What exactly is the manual telling you to use a chisel on?  Only thing I can
think of is possibly the little plate that you bend up to help keep the
flywheel bolts from backing off.
 
If that's the case, most any chisel should work, right?  By the way, I
recently needed a good one and found a decent selection at my local Ace
Hardware.

One of the restoration manuals mentions a bolster chisel, which in the book
appears to be shaped like a wood chisel - thin and flat on one side.  I once
had a small one of these with a handle bent upward for cutting flush, now long
lost.  I have not been able to find a metal-cutting chisel that is either flat
on one side or very thin.  Is there another name for this kind of tool?
