Forceps???

  1. I know probably the rest of you have been using them forever
    I just purchased a pair of straight and curved nose forceps off Amazon, for putting in a new screen on a 1098. The 2 nuts behind the dash cover are a PIA

    Not wanting to take off the fairings then the nosecone just to put in a couple of poxy nuts I bought these and they do the job pretty well.

    Up to that point I'd been using long nose pliers and when the nosecone does come off for whatever there will be about a dozen well nuts that will fall out with it

    Just a handy tool for retrieving stuff or positioning these awkward to get to nuts

    I'd just never thought of them before

    Now if anybody needs any operations done, I'm up for giving it go too.

  5. What a good idea, I always struggle to get my sausage fingers behind the dash to get these nuts in place.
     
  6. Forceps are one of the few bits I've got.

  7. Damm it all @bootsam I come up with this whizzo idea :idea:& you fekin sink me with a 2 bob solution :bomb:

    Thanks for posting up the endoscope. That looks like a really useful bit of kit, going to order one soon & use it with a laptop, I don't have a smartphone.

    Using screen recording software I have, I can make a record of inspections too.
