The annual Kapunda swap meet was back on again this year, bigger and better than it was prior to Covid restrictions. My find of the century was a
T 2178 spark plug wrench to fill the tool roll in my 1912 Haigh's chocolate van. I'd been looking for one for forever! The fellow who had it thought it was highly collectable rather than useful, so he had the price loaded, all the way up to $5.
Can anyone post details of the bent bar used to drive the wrench so I can duplicate one?

Re: Sunday swap meet find.
Thanks Keith,
I have a damaged throttle lever I can use to make a couple of the tommy bars. They can stay in the rusty appearance, to match the rather rough appearance of the casting in the wrench. Mine is nowhere near as clean as the one shown in the link you posted.
