Yeah, well if I had a real machine shop to play with, I would have just
made one. Let's just say that for anything more complex than cutting a
key slot or turning bushings, I have to get very creative.

Oh, you're waiting for your cargo containerized shop, aren't you?
Sorry.


And once again, I replied direct to a poster instead of using followup.
Rick suggested an 8 point socket. Well, I'd shipped over some basic
tools, including all my socket stuff under 1/2" drive. Among all that,
were three 8 point sockets. I've never used them and forgot I even had
them, but his post jogged my memory. Yup, had a 7/16!

Excellent!
