DIASS tool A.5.0114
I have been away on holiday for the last week (to Ischia, Italy), and upon returning I found a parcel slip in my mail box. It was for a replica A.5.0114 DIASS tool from Totally Alfa in the UK. Gary Fisher at Totally Alfa is naturally a much better toolmaker than me, so the contrast between the tool I got in the mail and my own feeble attempts at toolmaking was simply enormous. The tool costs around £34 plus shipping, and the quality seems to be very good. It takes a 1/2″ drive. Unfortunately, I don’t actually need the tool at the moment, and the pinion ring nut is hidden behind the (mounted) prop shaft flange.
Props to Ruedi Aschwanden (“tubut” on alfabb.com) for creating the measured drawing which made it possible for Gary to fabricate the tool.
