I have been thinking the most important tools i need to work on my model a are my carbide burrs. Seems every part i buy has some issue that requires cutting or finishing. Most recently put on a new water pump, casting was off center and fan wouldnt turn till i ground it down. This was after i clearanced the engine mount for the new one piece crank pully. Then there was the transmission thing. I certainly appreciate how much effort goes into creating these parts, but it is frustrating that the manufacturers just dont seem to have quality control. Just too small a market and no competition.
