larceny fink 10 Posted April 20, 2012 Hi, I am after a metal HT lead removal tool if anyone has one spare please. I see there was a group buy on these a long while ago, maybe someone has a spare?? I don't have one attached to the bonnet support and by all accounts the plastic ones are shee-ite. PM or 07930 273025 text/ring if easier, cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stonejag 10 Posted April 21, 2012 If you know anyone with one you could borrow as a pattern, you can make your own out of standard copper heating pipe. Roger B let me borrow his so I knocked this one out with a couple of hours Dremel work and some loom tape: Works fine (better than original, I made the slots deeper so it's easier to hook onto the plug) and cheap as chips :) Do keep an HT lead handy so you can test-fit often and you'll be fine!

Roger B let me borrow his so I knocked this one out with a couple of hours Dremel work and some loom tape: Weird you should suggest that. I was thinking the same at the weekend. I'm going to get a plastic one but by all accounts they don't last long so I was considering copying it using some tubing as you suggest.
