OK guys, so I got myself a little gem the other day that I will post up some details about as there has only been speculation about, The straight Tommy bar plug spanner, also touch on the bent Tommy bar spanner. So check out the headings for each pic for any details. As previously mentioned the straight bar was used for the Romoto and the Automatics until the idea to include a toe ring tool (hoop/spring/clip on type) and the other end to assist with the height adjuster this is the last pic of the bent Tommy bar spanner.

The Straight Tommy bar spanner has a bar 153mm = 6" long it is 6 and a tad mm = 1/4" thick.

I have knocked the bar out to show how the bar is held in to the main body of the tube spanner, these dents around the bar seem to be just done with like just a small cold chisel of sorts to deform the bar just enough to hold it in place.

I hope this info can be of use to someone as I know myself I was looking at how to replicate an original Straight Tommy bar spanner as these originals are getting far and few between. cheers2
