Tool time , we all love tools here , right? As I'm going to be dropping the power unit into the seat tube, I will need the Campag PU installation tool . But, as it's basically a rod with a male M4 thread ,to fit the PU , I saved myself £50 by making my own . Easy enough , just a length of M12 threaded rod, found in the workshop , drilled and tapped M4 thread to approx 6mm depth . Then I screwed in a 12mm M4 alan screw until it bottomed out , then cut the head off and cleaned the threads.
The business end
fitted to PU
Another tool, not strictly necessary , but very handy , it's save me loads of time in the past, is this tool by Jagwire
It has a flexible 'trunk' with a strong magnet on the end , which you get right into holes in frames and pull out hidden wires quickly.
