Shimano star headset wrenches?

Bit of a long shot here...but if you don't ask....

I managed to acquire a nice mid-80s frame today and it's got one of these headsets. Google doesn't seem to point me to any places that sells the obsolete wrenches and it seems such a shame to damage it further by using a regular adjustable wrenches. Does anyone have happen to have any old Shimano star wrenches that I can borrow/rent?

Otherwise I go for the "BLB approach" to removing historic bike components.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
