I was wondering if anyone could supply a real picture of a genuine Javelin tool ?
Thanks

Here's a photo (hopefully this will work) but NOT my Javelin (unfortunately!!) :(
You can find a diagram of what should be included in the Owner's manual.

That picture doesn't look like the diagram in my 1950 Javelin Owners book.

Andrew Henshall (?) in Australia has done extensive research on what was in them, but I don't know if he has a picture.

He gave me an Excel spread sheet for a PB De luxe. May be there were different tool kits as the years passed.

I tried to paste his spreadsheet into this message. but the formatting went to pieces.

My Javelin had - among other items - two tubular spanners in the two recesses where the picture shows spark plugs and bulbs. Also I recall a bar about 1 1/2" long and probably 1/2" square with a hole in it for a 'tommy' bar, that I think fitted either the engine or gearbox drain plug.

The points tool and the tyre valve extractor were there too.

It was a long time ago now!
The devil is in the detail!
