What about pics of tool organisation?

I'm trying to come up with ideas of how best to setup my new tool shed.

Hang em all up? Put em in a tool drawer? What about bigger stuff? And the odd one off stuff/tools? How to store/ organise power tools?

there's a thread in the wasteland that has toolboxes and such.

I believe it's titled "show us your tools"

Or there abouts.

Cool tool? My latest buy from Snap On. Cordles 3/8 rachet. Best thing ever when im doing engine bits and pieces including gearboxes or a head.

Best thing i claim it all back on tax as im a licensed mechanic ;)

nice too man.....i wanted to buy this, but bought the milwaukee version instead coz i had batteries

But when you have some nice calipers, there's no point in marking them if you don't have to.

I have a set of Bluepoint ones, but they are a bit bulky. On a lot of the cars I work on the pistons are pushed out so far the tool barely fits in. But they're a definite time saver. I'll get some pics up tomorrow.

to suit opposing piston callipers like skyline brembo and sumitomos, right? where and how much?

Used them on my D2s but yeah would be fine for brembos and sumis. Got it from Transquip, sale price 100, full price 160. Not cheap but pushing caliper pistons back is a pet hate of mine. US ebay has them for around 100 including delivery; here's the ebay search

Mate you will love those hose removing pliers,,,they are very handy.

Have you tried those caliper pliers yet,,,I was always going to make a set but if they fit inside a 4 piston sumitomo/brembo caliper I'll also buy one.

Cheers

Neil.

Those hose pliers are so cool and definitely one that makes getting the buggers off easier. Lost count of the number of times i have busted knuckles slipping the screwdriver trying to get old ones off.

As for the spreaders, i haven't tried them out yet.

I dont have the twins on the front anymore but if you like i can measure the size of the spreader for you so you can check it fits?

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
