I think it helps people type in all caps. I don't have one though, so I'm not sure...
IT PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM HITTING THEIR THUMB !
ANT IDEA WHAT THIS IS FOR ????
Forward vision when driving a vehicle on the opposite side of the road to it's original country of origin.
I BELIEVE STEPHEN IS CORRECT
The "passing eye" mirror is a MUCH sought after item. It will allow you to see around the car or truck in front of you to pass on a two lane road.
B...B...But, what about the thumb of th' poor slob who hasta hold the nail? ;-)
It's the first time I've seen that tool
Okay...I'll bite..what IS it???
SOME SORT OF AN INSTALLATION TOOL??
It's an English Ford 8hp / 10hp sidevale valve guide remover. The only way to remove the valve is to remove the guide as well.
The valve has a ball shape on the tip that accepts a 'c' shape spring retainer, thus the valve will not pass through the guide. The guides are a two piece split item. You position the tool over the valve head ( hence the hollow area ) and tap downwards to release the guide. ( similar arrangement on several old sidevalve engine types )
You then (having previously checked the valve clearance) adjust the clearance by grinding the valve further into the block if the gap's too big or if the gaps too small, grind a bit off of the valve tip. Those were the days !
A picture is probably easier than my dodgy description.
