Bill,
Moss stocks them. The seven-piece combination set, 383-108, and the
seven-piece 3/8 drive socket set, 381-608, will handle most of the
fasteners on the car. Not inexpensive, but may be cheaper than having
your hands stitched up after an ill-fitting wrench slips.
The tube wrench set, 387-100, is a repro of an inexpensive set that
came with the cars. Not for serious work.
Sounds as if you need these tools right now, but you can add to your
basic set at yard sales and rummage sales. People who owned British
motorcycles or cars might have some around after selling the car. A
couple of years ago I got a King Dick adjustable spanner for $2, for
example. Avoid them, except as true bargains; they are nearly useless.
The USA Crescent is much much better, though not really the right tool
for TDs either, even though some call them Adjustable Whitworth.
