More wrenches!
Well I wound up collecting more GMC wrenches! I was looking through the pile of wrenches in the surplus store in Calgary last weekend where I originally found them hoping this year to find some Ford wrenches thanks to Colin's help but only GMC wrenches were there. I did manage to find one of the 15/16'' GMC 5824674 box end wrench so that may have to go in the tool kit until I find a Ford marked one.

RCAF wrench
Another interesting find there was this combination wrench. Marked RCAF and made by Gray Canada. Anyone want to guess as to it's use?
Thanks,Derk

Wayne,
I also managed to complete a set of Dubl-Hex wrenches (180-185). An antique store in Beausejour,Manitoba this spring had the one's I was missing.

Rick,
Thanks for the information. And Rob, The old Derk would have gone out to find an aircraft and bring it home to go with the wrench but I am cured now. My focus on life right now is to rebuild a new kitchen for the wife! Derk

You can BS the rest of the MLU Forum, but don't bother trying to BS me!! I know you too well and for too long. How many police lightbars have you acquired now, in order to try and fulfill just one of your many latest obsessions? And where did you have to mount the last one because the garage wall was already full to the top with them?? Don't lie to everyone, I have photos.

The markings on the multi-tool suggest it is for use on equipment that uses BA fasteners. What equipment used by the RCAF used BA fasteners?
I know the C5 charging switchboard used with WS19 used that system so it might be fair to assume other pieces of radio kit designed in the UK might use those fasteners. At risk of sidetracking the thread, is there a list of known Canadian systems that used the BA fastener system?

Grant.
With the huge inventory of British designed aircraft in Canada's wartime RCAF, there were probably a large number of parts using BA style fasteners. Not necessarily exclusive to wireless equipment. And in a worst case scenario, Derk can always assemble the new kitchen with BA hardware.  David
