Jim G there are about six different ones on Ebay. Go to Ebay Motors and enter key word "Rim Tool"

I was walking through a Junk Store (some people call them antique stores) the other day looking for Coke Cases. At one point, I looked down and there was the Tool you are looking for. I picked it up and the price was $5. I felt like I was stealing but I bought it anyway. The one I have is broken and I had to use some creative genius to get it to work, so this is a welcomed addition to the tool box.

If I find more, I'll let you know.

Keep looking at eBay. As you say, the prices sometimes go mad. But there have been some with acceptable price at the auction's end. So put in what you want to pay, and you could be lucky one day. I needed my tool too fast, so I had to pay the higher price.

I needed two square cat eyes for my 1916. Suddenly they came on auction for USD 25/pair, (NOS, ment for a 1916 Maxwell). No others were bidding and I got a bargain. The seller was not in the best mood when the price stayed where he started, but was very happy when I told him it was for my 490/1916.

Have a look at the bargain: [img]http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/7389/dscn1107la5.jpg[img]
