A cel phone and AAA membership! Seriously, CT MG Guru Bob Howard once
brandished a tool that I believe he got from Steve Wincze, to pull out the
broken remnant of the inevitable TD rear axle half-shaft breakdown. I thought
that was pretty nifty, perhaps others may have a drawing. Blessedly, I never
needed to see the thing again.Hurrah for Harbour Fright, as a model-builder,
their 'oft less-than-robust tools are perfect for my miniature needs.
