As well as I remember being able to just use a Park pin spanner for old bicycle bottom brackets...

 

Excellent tool alternative.  I'll bet it's a fraction of the price of the SnapOn tool.  Thanks.

 

Edit: I just checked.  A bicycle shop very near me has the tool.  While I'm there I can pick up a couple of spokes to make hose clips for the top of the KF pump.  Cheers!

They make the pins in a couple of different diameters- there's a red tool and a green tool...  I don't remember which one I used.

So, coming back to this leaking WUR

 

I keep seeing these promos for aluminum welding/braising rods that look simple to use, and very effective.  This might be a perfect application.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains.

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books.
