Sipke Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 For completing my '44 RE WDCO i am looking for a tool roll and a correct tyrepump. Need to put my tools somewhere. Does anyone has some sort of an idea wher i could buy this? A nice replica of the items is fine by me. Best regards, Sipke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenkinov Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I believe a number of the tool rolls supplied by the manufacturers were thin rexine type as its compact (triumph certainly) but they were too fragile to survive and became brittle so I have yet too find a surviving example after 12 years of searching. The manufacturers tool roll contents were supplemented by both the riders and army .for examp!e adding a chain splitter ... My suggestion would be to search for a small army tool roll on eBay and build your own kit up .the handbook should list the manufacturers issued tools and I am aware of photos on this forum and the web of tool kits Jenkinov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rewdco Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 WD/C - WD/CO tool rolls were made in brown gaberdine cotton cloth, with a stone red hessian cloth lining. Rexine was only used for the edges. Here's an original one and a replica: There was a (basic) "Tool Kit" and a "Supplementary Kit". See pictures below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citroman Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 That's a lot of tools for a motorbike. My vintage 2cv had 6 tools in the kit. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79x100 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 The "Geitje" was not a military vehicle and not subject to the "Task System" of maintenance. British army tools were sometimes a little large and clumsy, but they were suitable for the operations for which they were intended. This photo shows late and early war Norton 16H tools...There is no alternative for the cranked gearbox spanner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
