Here is something that has been in DomiRacer's warehouse since the 1980's when my Dad bought all the Canadian military surplus Triumph TRW 500 side valve parts and tools. I always thought this was a special tool for a Triumph TRW 500 flat head, but after researching it, it turns out to be a PWA 1424 Pratt & Whitney Aircraft special tool for an old Warbird engine. This is a new old stock crow's foot pushrod tube socket tool for the gland nut on Pratt & Whitney R-2000, R-2800, R-985 & R-1340 aircraft engines. According to another eBay ad I found, this tool is for any Pratt & Whitney aircraft engine, although I can't find any information to substantiate that claim. My granddaughter was visiting an aircraft museum near Gatlinburg and just happened to take a photo of this R-2800 18 cylinder engine that the tool works for. Pretty cool, huh? This is the very last one of these tools, once it is gone I won't have them again.
