Does anyone know what the dimensions of the business end of one of these
T-handles is (I mean the ones for TR-2 & 3s). My snake came with one
but it disappeared shortly after I bought the car and I've been using a
screwdriver ever since. Does TRF carry them?

Well, maybe this explain why a Jag dealer tried to charge the battery up
backwards on my friend's new '65 'E' type when he took it in for
servicing a few months after he buying it. I never understood how
someone supposedly familiar with his car could have made such a dumb
mistake. Eventually every component in the charging system had to be
replaced. At my friends expense, of course.
