Greetings List=20
I am about to re-tune a couple of Apeks DS4's - the factory set IP =
is too high at just under 11 bar.=20
To get to the spring adjuster on the low pressure side I have to =
remove an environmental sealed cover/diaphragm and need to use a pin =
spanner. Some people call these hook spanners or hook wrenches. There is =
a picture of one of these spanners at an excellent DIR site
http://www.deeperstuff.com/apeks-1st.htm=20
I was wondering if anyone know where I can get a couple of these pin =
spanner/wrenches? Is there a name/brand for this tool? Where should I =
look?
The only spanner I can find like it is an "adjustable" pin spanner =
by "Snap-on" and they (the retailer) wanted about US$65 for it. This =
seemed a bit steep. I suppose I could make one but wanted to seek advice =
first.
thanks in advance=20
