There are Norbar ones that go that high also. All half inch drive. The cheaper ones tend to be 30 to 230Nm, have a Draper one that cost me £42.that is in that range. Technically a click wrench is a torque indicator, you can tighten past the click, a torque wrench breaks so that tightening above the set value is inpossible. That type of torque wrench tends to be expencive. Paul. |

Are your velos water cooled? I remember an old chap used to run one back and forth to work when I was an apprentice, very quiet in comparison to the bsa bantams of the day. Paul. |

It was 40 years ago and Ive had a lot of sleeps since.
Yes you are right it was 6 ftlb. I did renew the nuts every time I set the tappets, turning the cam but hand with the head off the car made you realised they worked hard for a living so it was new when the job finished. 1/4 UNF if memory serves. Still have a tobacco tin of shims somwhere in the shed, all thick ones of course. You could shave up to .015 inch off the top of the valve stem in extremis without cutting through the case hardened top of the stem. I had a mate who was a toolmaker and he surface ground the shims for me which was a whole lot easier. Paul. |
