Old Tools

[Kilgore47]

I have replaced the bearings and seals on the rear axles of my 1947 P15.  Now it's time to check the end play.  These dial indicators belonged to my granddad.  He was a mechanic and used these to work on these old cars when they were new.  I got them in the 80's and have used them many times.  The face is old and yellow but they work.

I like those old gauges, they were probably well made. If taken care of and handled with care prob give many years of service. In my job I have to use dial indicators calipers and mics. I have always liked Starrett because of the quality and they were made in the USA,  Brown & Sharpe a close second.
