A couple of years ago I started collecting tools for my Royal Enfield projects. With some recent finds I have now almost completed a tool set for my Royal Enfield WD/C. I have also found an original tool roll, but that one was in a very bad condition, and only suitable for use as a pattern. So I ordered some camel tissue, burgundy hessian, black leather and buckles, and made a faithful replica. Colours and dimensions have been respected:
The wartime picture below shows a WD/C tool inspection. When I compare with the “official tool lists”, I can see that some of the tools are missing, or have been replaced by alternatives. I have made the “then and now” as good as I could…
But in this picture you can see all the “official” WD/C tools:
As I had to buy a minimum quantity of one square meter of tissue, I made some extra tool rolls. The same tool roll was used on the WD/CO. Also made some replica leather pouches for the Dunlop tyre pressure gauge, as used on several WD motorcycles. And I also have some surplus tools that I would like to sell. Please contact me off forum if interested.

Thanks for the compliments chaps! Much appreciated! :grinning:
That's a replica Royal Enfield funnel Rob. In the illustration below it appears to have a rolled edge, but in the illustration above it doesn't...
