The bent wrench is my favorite example of a homemade tool. I'm not kidding - it's our logo!

It's not perfectly perfect, and the 15" length and its precision are up to your discretion :rolleyes: , but it works great.

thaaaank you. building this tomorrow

yep- AFM on 87 190e 2.3-16 is underneath the fuel distributor between it and the cylinder head. I went with a 1/4" drive philips bit and a 1/4" gear wrench. Tight fit o-rings on each side of the bit held it in.

I had to put a new rear seal in my NB. I reverse engineered the hole pattern, crank, and seal. Designed this part and printed it. Worked great.

Please consider uploading the file or linking to thingaverse.

Where do I upload the file on miataturbo.net? Is it like the photo's? Pretty new to the board. Thanks in advance.

Thingiverse.com is a completely separate website. You'd need to upload there.

Thanks. I was wondering if there is a place to post on this site for the Miata crowd?
