Hi
Does anyone know of a UK stockist for the above type of wrench ? (They’re the ones necessary for B&H projectors. )

Thanks

Jon

Hi Jonathan,I am not sure who in the UK sells them,but a company here in the states called Test Equipment Depot sells all the new Bristol spline tools you need,the main Bristol blades as the call them you will need for working on the B&H projectors will be the Xcelite 99 series 66N,64N and the 62N,66 for the pulley wheels,the leveling height adjustment knoband the upper/lower sprocket gears,and the worm gear,the 64N for if you have,the loop restorer cam,and the 62N for the in and out cam follower adjustment set screw.And also a 99 series blade handle to swap out each tool.Good luck

I believe Larry sells them, and others sell them on Amazon. I would not recommend using an Allen wrench. The fit is not correct and if you strip the socket, you will be in for trouble.
