LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!!! Up for auction is yet another item from my now-dwindling Daimler Ferret / British Army spare parts and collectibles. The item you see is EXTREMELY RARE!!!! It is a FLUID FLYWHEEL PLUG TOOL (KEY). It is used for the ticklish task of removing / replacing the fluid flywheel plug on the Daimler Ferret Armoured Car. I'm not certain, but I think it was used on other British Military vehicles that used the Wilson Five Sp...eed Pre-Select Transmission. If you own a Ferret or similar, I'm sure you know of the hazards of not using this special tool, as you run the risk of losing a plug when removing and replacing the plugs in the flywheel. If the plug is dropped into the engine compartment, it is extremely difficult to find and remove it. I've been told many times that it requires the removal of the engine to get it out. Obviously, without the plugs, the fluid will quickly drain out, and driving the vehicle could cause damage to the drive train. This tool is part of the Ferret tool kit as issued by the British Army, and is shown on Layout Number One from the Ferret User Manual. It is Item Number 28. These tools are very hard to find, and expensive to purchase. Knowing the situation I'm in, I'm forced to start the bidding lower than I'd like. My loss is your gain! And if you missed out on my previous auction for a used spanner, here is your chance to bid on a BRAND-NEW ONE! I found this one yesterday, in the factory-sealed box!
