OK, we had a member who worked in the automotive parts business who was affected by the 2008 bankruptcies, and due to your comprehensive fastener knowledge, thought maybe you were him and had moved to Green Bay. Sorry.

Oh yes, lest I forget, the screw for a 2-liter Ford Capri engine`s cam belt tightener is a 12-stared socket that requires a special Ottumwa Tool Company tool to remove (according to the Ford Service Manual). I do not remember what I paid for it back in 1981.

Well, that`s a coincidence, around that time I helped my friend rebuild his `70 Pinto 2.0l engine to put into his `73 Capri. I don`t remember him having to buy any special tools, but who knows.
