Post by: Dennis Y on June 11, 2021, 09:30:56 PM
Is there a spanner socket to fit the console switches?

Thanks. Might be another tool I need to make. I didn't know they sold them. Gary

Hey Shelbyman, are you a machinist? If you do one nicer than that one, I'd be interested in buying one. Tough to tell, but that one looks a little rough.

What I thought about doing was taking a few sockets that fit and machining them for the tabs if possible. I have a lot of spare sockets. I have made up ones decades ago for the dash pieces like the light switch and such. I have made up the set pins when you bleed your brakes like what Scott(CJ forum)  sells https://www.musclecarresearch.com/brake-valve-tool . I am a Tool and Die Maker by trade and my last job was being a CNC large Machinists and programmer to machine. I have been a committeeman for 4 years now so it is discouraged that I run any machines but could modify some sockets or have a friend do it. Let me see what I can do. PM me and I'll have a record for later. Gary
