    Further RM8 playtime thanks to logun-ator

    Kit supplied by logun-ator so fitted and holding air again. Waiting for kit to arrive had a look at a pin wrench for the reg. None to hand but sudden inspiration.
    Checked pin size with drill bits then penny dropped.

    And Aluminium angle? as vice soft jaws?. I use the same but glue leather belting to the face for delicate parts.

    Excellent idea for the adjustable pin wrench, but I can't say I've ever needed such a tool.
    I have accumulated different vice faces over the years, from aluminium as shown, also some with leather faces, to copper and hard rubber, and also wood faces as well, although I rarely use a bench vice nowadays, just a smaller table clamp vice, and even that doesn't get much use.
    I also use leather on the steel faces of the adjustable sash cramp I use as a very occasional spring compressor.
