Got up early and went to the local car boot sale and picked up a whole pile of engineering tools for 15 quid including two brand new T&J 15/16 to 1" expanding reamers and their pilots, a couple of Moore and Wright calipers and a set of Starrett punches in their original wallet.

Then a pile of Snap On sockets from a 3 for a quid box. Proper old Snap On too not this modern stuff.

Just about to leave when one of the stall holders unloaded a pair of new Girling rear brake backplates which looked familar. 3 quid changed hands and they turned out to be suitable for fitting to a 7HA axle. Could not believe it as I was looking for set for my Plus 4!!

Came home and machined up the rear cover for the Moss box. It had been welded some time previously and I did a dye penetrant test on it. No cracks so milled the welds back and then spot faced the bolt holes.
