Long shot I know, but...

I have an old Moore & Wright micrometer, which needs a little adjustment to
get the zero accurate and maybe strip down for a clean, unfortunately it
came without the little spanner. It is a little over 2" long, with a C at
one end, an open ender at the other and I understand it is standard spanner
for all models. I wonder if anyone might have one surplus to their needs?


You don't need it for a strip down and clean, but can't you make something
that will let you adjust it? It's only a pin on an arc.

I have already tried to make one - it just wasn't strong enough to
budge it.
