Title: What is it? Post by: Martin on May 07, 2012, 01:56:25 AM (http://s18.postimage.org/ntu6r3a5x/SDC10810.jpg) ($2) (http://s13.postimage.org/d5u435jwz/SDC10811.jpg) ($2) It's obviously a drift to insert a threaded component which is screwed on at one end and whacked at the other end to drive it home. It was included with some other tools I bought several years ago. Stamped "Dufor 3" So, what does it fit? Thanks, Martin Title: Re: What is it? Post by: JB on May 07, 2012, 06:23:03 AM It looks like an end that is used in the building industry for threadrod, either to join sections or to do as you say use as a drift.

Looks to me like a Dufor stud extractor, size #3 in a series of about a dozen. I can't find my Dufor tools info, but pictured below is the same gear from Coxhead. Looks lilke your stud extractor collection is like mine... I have a lonely Coxhead #1 ;D. (http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad136/V8EKwagon/DSC04551a.jpg) Cheers, Harv. Title: Re: What is it?

It's not hollow thoughout - so if I inderstand "threadrod" correctly, that is ruled out. Harv could be right - althouigh I still think it's for whacking. Here's another pic showing the "whacking" end. Martin (http://s8.postimage.org/yb6orkzwh/SDC10858.jpg) ($2) Title: Re: What is it? Post by: Martin on May 07, 2012, 12:15:04 PM I meant to add, I don't have anything large enough to try it out on, but internal diameter is 0.786 inch = roughly 3/4 or 13/16. Depth of thread is 0.712 inch - nearly 3/4"

I borrowed one from Shacks Holden in Fremantle when restoring 2BRITE. Kind regards Seb Scrutineer FE-FC Holden Car Club of WA (Inc) Title: Re: What is it? Post by: Martin on May 07, 2012, 05:27:03 PM Thanks Seb. That makes sense.
See it on Parts For Sale soon. Martin Title: Re: What is it? Post by: Harv on May 07, 2012, 09:34:56 PM Gents,
I could be way, way wrong (and often am :-[), but I understand the control arm shaft remover and replacer (3A4) looks like this: (http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad136/V8EKwagon/3A4.jpg) (this is the Litchfield version, E1882). This allows you to screw the upper and lower control arm shafts in and out. It looks to have a thread of 3/4-10 UNC. The tool Martin has is designed to screw onto something, then belt the snot out of it ( ;D), kinda like the wheel bolt peening drift (tool 3A7) or crankshaft balancer replacer (6A2). The thread dimensions are similar to the 3A4, but look closer to 7/8-9UNC. Again, I could well be wrong. Cheers, Harv. Title: Re: What is it?

Anybody else got any ideas? Martin |
