ok here are some clues you hopeless cases....
to put a twist grip on?
to seal a piston for a compression check?
to de-coke a 2T pipe in the 70s (blocking one end)?
fluid to measure compression?
something unquanifiable to check wheel alignment?
lubriation for tyre changing tyres?
we used to make sidecover gaskets out of these (after 8am)?
you can mark the flywheel with this?
to measure the oil level in a fork leg this item can change the suction straw height!
I might remember some more soon. still getting over using the kids as pipe cleaners, resting the bike on the dog and using the wife as a slave! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

The collunder (seive) works well for the small parts in the partswasher (pasta tastes funny if not cleaned before returning)
Cotten Buds for those awkward little places.

Glad wrap (cling film) to wrap up the nice clean components for storage whilst waiting for parts from overseas.

Nah! nah! nah! you use the vacuum cleaner as port of a gas flow rig when tuning! you actually need between 4 and 6 motors 
I think all these guys have got all the correct tools in their correct places and have never had to muddle through....
so anymore for anymore?

shampoo = fitting a tyre
vasoline = sealing the piston for a comp test
plastocine = for a valve to piston test
crayon = trueing a spoked wheel
brillo (wire wool pad) = cleaning engine parts
felt tip pen = marking parts
correction/tipp-ex pen = flywheel marking
string = wheel alignment
short scissors = making a gasket
kellogs corn flake packet = gasket paper
clothes peg = setting fork oil height
kerosene/white spirit = compression testing
protractor = valve timing
kettle = removing paper stickers
black shoe polish = tyre wall slick
pane of glass = facing covers etc
clothes pegs again = to hold the wet 'n dry paper on the pane of glass!
