66-9038 screwdriver attachment

Hi Guys, after 20 years of searching I have all but given up hope of ever finding the screwdriver attachment part number 66-9038 to complete my WM20 tool kit, is there anyone lucky enough to have one of these who could let me know the dimensions so I can manufactured one? cheers. Peter

It looks very, similar to the primary chain adjusting tool that was used on Triumph 500's and Bonnevilles, try googling images or Triumph primary chain adjusting tool , the hexagon is 7/16" which is close enough to 3/16 BSW spanner size

And in use- I was curious myself what to do with it!

I have one at home I can measure up. I'll see if I have a spare, but I doubt it.

I would like to make both the screwdriver and holder - any chance of some measurements?

Re: 66-9038 screwdriver attachment

Hi Guys, many thanks for all the info which has been very helpful, I have taken measurements from the photo of the complete tool which Vincent V kindly posted, and measuring my tool holder I came up with an equation of + 1.94 which gives me the following sizes for the screwdriver tool

The hex bar has to be 3/16th Whitworth to fit into the tool holder properly

Hex Length 11.5 mm

Shank length 38 mm

Shank diameter 9.5 mm

length of tip 6 mm

overall length 55.5 mm (2.22 inches)

I managed to buy a length of 3/16th Whitworth hex bar at Kempton yesterday, I would ideally have liked mild steel but none was on offer, I will be on my lathe later on today to make the tool. kind regards to all. Peter

Re: 66-9038 screwdriver attachment

Hi Peter,I Dont want to dampen your enthusiasm,but a mild steel screwdriver wont
be much use.In the ideal world you need a medium carbon steel,and need to harden and temper the tip.You may have got lucky if mild steel was not on the menu.
To harden,heat the item to a cherry red and quench in oil,then polish up the tip
with emery cloth,then heat again,back from the tip until you see the metastart to go brown,dont go to blue or you may over cook it.Now watch for the heat and
colour running to the tip,when it gets to a yellowy straw colour quench again.
It should be tempered back enough then,and also a nice shiny oil blacked finish.
hope this helps ,cheers Rick

Re: 66-9038 screwdriver attachment

Hi Rick many thanks for the info, I have brought stainless steel to make it with will that be hard enough?, or can I harden it the same way as normal steel
kind regards Peter
