Have you managed, or even tried, to assemble a "correct" toolkit for your old motor? I'm thinking wheelbrace and starting handle, branded spanners with the correct part number(s) on them, etc etc as originally supplied?

Or, do you collect factory-issued spanners, regardless of whether you own the vehicle they were originally supplied with?

I've found quite a few old spanners at car boot sales etc over the years, marked with "Ford" (and "Enfo"), "Austin", "BSA" and so on, the latter perhaps relating to bicycles rather than motorcycles or cars. Best find was, I think, an adjustable spanner bearing the name "Indian".

Yes, somewhat imperfect and believe it or not I bought the Thor new.
