    The special lug wrench which came on '65's equipped with cragers is missing from my car. Does anyone know where I can find/buy one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The last one I saw for sale was on Ebay.. been a while. I think you may be able to fabricate one cheaper than finding a genuine article from ebay. Do you know of any machine shops!!

    I have a good friend who is a machinists and can make just about anything, but the first thing he'll ask is for an original pattern or item to use to copy the dimensions. If I have one he can make one that's exact to specification.

    Wayne,
    Dave, the owner of 5S396 made one for his car.
    I sent him some photos and measurements from mine.

    Craig Conley may still have a few, that's where I got mine many years ago. I agree with Texas Swede and Steve, they are a very simple design and probably much cheaper to just fabricate.
