tool for Ransome Ajax for back lapping

Enter a word or two to search the forum section and click the Search Forum button.

Hi All

         I have a Ransome Ajax 12 inch MK5 , in the manual it highlights a tool that you would use to aid back lapping which screws into one of the cogs. Obviously these are rare now and have been lost or discarded. I am sure i saw on here some one who made a tool? For the life of me i cannot seem to find the thread now? 

Has anyone made this tool or made something similar?

Regards Dave

If it helps, NM posted some information about a Mk5 (?) on 2nd June. Later on in that discussion, the matter of a tool for helping the back-lapping process came up. Hillsider then helpfully identified the thread which would fit the hole on the roller gear wheel and I posted a couple of pictures of the "dual purpose" handle on my Mk3. These may help you make one up - useable if not original!

Good luck
