Triumph/Churchill Special Service Tools
After a 25 year plus hiatus I recently re-entered the world of Triumph sports cars with the acquisition of a 1962 TR4 restoration project. As I began to meet and talk with other folks in the LBC community I realized there was an interest/need for a few specialty items that I thought I could provide at a reasonable cost. These tools are quality "reproductions" of the Churchill special purpose tools described in the British Leyand Service Manuals. They are not exact carbon copy duplicates of the originals and have some minor physical differences but they are functionally equivalent and will give a lifetime of reliable service doing the jobs for which the original Churchill tools were designed. Hopefully you will find them both affordable and useful. If you don't see what you need feel free to contact me and I will see what I can do to make it happen.

Coil Spring Compressor
The S.112-1 style coil spring compressor can be used on most Triumph models and is a reliable and safe mway to remove coil springs. Similar to the OEM Churchill tool it incorporates an 18" long 3/4" screw, ball handle, swivel joint, and "hemispherical" thrust plate with ball bearing all neatly packeded in a wooden storage case. It also includes two 3/8" guide pins to assist in aligning the spring pan when reassembling the springs.
