Subject: Re: 2.6 toolkit content ?
Hi Tim,
Many thanks for taking the trouble to post these pictures. I'd quite forgotten the stowage locations for tools on the DB2. Efficient use of available space!
Meanwhile, club member Antony Bowie, who isn't a member of this forum but who owns a quite exceptional and original 2.6 saloon sent me the attached pictures. Antony makes the following comments / observations: items are not guaranteed original but they have been with the car since 1960. Wheelbrace in the first picture is likely to be a later replacement. Wheelbrace in the second picture which wasn't presently in his car, may well be the correct type. It fits the tool roll and was amongst his other spare parts. Wheel chock might be original? Spanners: to quote Antony "There are a number of odd spanners, a plug box spanner, and a pair of pliers but they are all from different manufacturers (where stated) and so I am not sure what could be considered original (the only one that may be is a Jenbro )." The 2-legged jack, of course, isn't original. The 2.6 one has 3 legs.
Even if nothing more comes to light I believe there's enough information here for me to put something reasonably authentic in the boot.
Regards, Martin
