It should be taken for granted that all the usual workshop hand tools such as screwdrivers, spanners, pliers and yes, even a hammer sometimes, will be required. We won’t show pictures of those though we should point out that many early magnetos, particularly Bosch, used screws with very narrow slots so it is necessary to have a selection of screwdrivers carefully ground to a thinner section to suit them. This page shows some of the hand tools we use in our workshop.
