i made this last week. the V8 miata motor mount heat shield 19mm wrench.

 

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

 

This site is nothing but "rainbow ponies with bent wrenches".

 

Made this at work to get to a screw I had no way of accessing any other way

 

Make your own 1.8 crank bolt removal tool. Bolt circle is 53mm, if you prefer.

It's not perfectly perfect, and the 15" length and its precision are up to your discretion , 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?
