I would pay extra to have a set of SAE wrenches all marked in x/16 increments rather than the more standard format.

Ok, last time the front clam was off the Lotus, the shop noticed one of the connectors for the headlights was messed up. They figured a previous shop that had the clam off probably damaged it putting the clam back on.

So the shop gave me the male end that goes from the headlights to the connector (the one on the left), and said good luck finding the other end. So I ended up buying an Elise wire harness for $100 on eBay a few years ago just to get the female plug. I got 3. Now I'm cutting off anything else I think I might possibly need, and tossing the rest. Time to finally deal with the issue.

Got a lifetime supply of fuses.

Now to find my soldering iron.

i found the one tool snap-on, and matco doesn't sell!

i was seriously looking for a while. i can't find anywhere that i can get custom-labeled wrenches outside of etsy, and i can do everything they do.

I'm sorry. Perhaps you would like to be coddled.

Local 2GR Swapped MR2 is for sale. I've run into the guy locally a bunch of times, super fast car. Wish I had the cash on hand.

Sounds like you need a tighter slot.
