MG Midget and Sprite Technical - RB340 Control Box adjustment

Hi Folks,

I'm needing to adjust my car's control box as I suspect I have a small issue with overcharging...

Does anyone know where I could obtain the "special" Lucas tool for turning the cams, or have one they'd be willing to part with? The Lucas part number is 54381742.

Cheers,

James

ISTR I used some long-nosed pliers - very carefully.

Hmmm, that's the thing - forgot to say I would rather use the tool than pliers, though if there isn't one about, I'll have to...

... fingers crossed someone has one!

I seem to recall grinding the end of a screwdriver to leave a prong to fit in the hole, with the blade edge engaging the teeth.
