Thanks Steve, sorry , should have added I just had the surface rust professionally cleaned off the tools and zinced

Hello
Is anyone able to help me identify which model the tools and case in the attached photos are from please ?

Hi Eric Thank you for providing that information, which is very helpful. My apologies for the delay in responding. I am new to the forum and taking a while to navigate the system. I will have a closer look at the various options and make a decision. Anything I do will be better than what I currently...

Hi I am in the process of replacing the exhaust system on my 3.8 FHC. My understanding is that originally there was no heat shield but that these are now available to install and sit somewhere near the central mufflers. Can anyone confirm this for me and any thoughts on how effective this method is,...
