The Tools catalogue covers the specialist tools that make classic MG ownership easier, the items that turn an awkward, swearing-in-the-driveway job into a satisfying afternoon's work. The range is organised by what the tool is for rather than by who makes it, on the principle that an owner with a job in front of them is searching for what they need to do rather than which brand they want it from. Brake and clutch tools, Gunson tuning equipment, the wider workshop range, wheel tools, trim tools, panel tools, oilers, steering tools, engine tools, protection equipment, tool rolls, and touring equipment are all stocked here, covering the full spread of jobs from routine servicing through to full restoration.
Brake, Clutch & Gunson Tools
Brake Tools cover the specialist items that make brake work go properly, brake-line flaring kits for owners making their own copper or Kunifer pipes, caliper rewind tools for cars with handbrake-operated rear calipers, brake-shoe spring tools for drum-brake work, brake-piston spreaders for fitting new pads to thicker discs, and the brake-bleeding kits, vacuum, pressure, and one-man variants, that turn brake bleeding from a two-person job into a one-person one. Clutch Tools cover the alignment mandrels, pilot-bearing pullers, and flywheel-locking tools needed for a gearbox-out clutch change, a misaligned clutch plate being one of the most common reasons a gearbox refuses to mate up to the engine, eliminated entirely by the right alignment tool. Gunson is the established UK brand for classic-car tuning and timing equipment, in production since the 1950s, and the range covers the headline items, the advanced xenon timing light, the ColorTune combustion viewer for setting carburettor mixture by eye, the Carbalancer airflow meter for equalising twin and triple-carburettor setups, the Eezibleed brake-bleeding kit, the exhaust-gas analyser, and the cylinder-leakdown tester, the proven tools for setting up ignition timing, carburettor mixture, and valve gear with confidence.
Workshop, Wheel, Trim & Panel Tools
Workshop Tools cover the wider range of items that make classic-car work easier, torque wrenches in the appropriate ranges, copper hammers for stuck splines, valve-spring compressors, gasket scrapers, and the specialised spanners the period BMC and British Leyland fasteners sometimes require, with a kit covering both the imperial AF and metric standards being genuinely useful given the transition across the catalogue scope. Wheel Tools cover the wire-wheel hammers in lead, copper, and plastic-faced patterns, wire-wheel balancing cones, spinner removal tools, and the torque multipliers needed for cars with locking centre nuts. Trim Tools cover the prising tools, plastic wedges, upholstery hog-rings, and trim-clip pliers needed when removing and refitting door cards, headlinings, carpet sets, and seat trim panels without damaging the components, which on cars with fragile original panels and clips is the difference between a clean job and broken trim. Panel Tools cover the body restoration tooling, body hammers, dollies, slappers, panel-beating files, welder accessories, body solder kits, and panel-clamp sets used for cutting in repair panels, common requirements given the corrosion that classic structures develop in structural areas.
Engine, Steering, Electrical, Oilers, Tool Rolls & Touring
Engine Tools cover the specialist items for engine work, valve-spring compressors, piston-ring pliers and compressors, gudgeon-pin presses, crankshaft pulley pullers, oil-pump primers, timing-chain tensioner tools, cylinder hones, and the torque wrenches set to the correct engine bolt torques, engine rebuilding being a popular owner project well within the reach of a competent home mechanic with the right tooling. Steering Tools cover track-rod-end removers, ball-joint splitters, steering-wheel pullers essential for removing wheels without damaging the column, and the alignment tools used during reassembly. Electrical Tools cover the diagnostic and service equipment for the Lucas electrical system, multimeters with the impedance suitable for older wiring, circuit testers, soldering irons, wire strippers and crimpers sized for the period bullet, spade, and ring terminals, terminal kits, and battery hydrometers, with confirming the car's polarity being the first step in any electrical diagnostic as many cars have been converted from their original positive earth. Oilers cover the pump-action oil cans, grease guns, and applicators for the periodic attention the suspension, steering, and drivetrain grease points require.
Tool Rolls are the rolled-canvas storage solutions for keeping a usable on-board toolkit in the car, and Touring Equipment covers the wider range for cars used on long trips, battery jump leads, tyre inflators, breakdown triangles, first-aid kits, fluorescent jackets, and the boxed kits that gather the essentials.
