Necessity is the mother of invention

We have decided to recondition the gearbox from the spare engine. We found that a couple of critical nuts were loose. One was circular, ie no flats on it to accept a spanner, just three dimples for a "Special Tool" which of course we don't have. So we made one using available box spanners. We even managed to fit the torque wrench to tighten to the correct degree. Here is the photo. I don't think we will win any design awards, but, hey, it worked.
