Darrin Forum / Darrin Owners Manual
« on: May 07, 2012, 05:54:47 PM »
My father worked on the development of the Darrin until leaving KF sometime in 1953 or 1954. I was sorting through some long forgotten boxes of his and I came across an absolutely pristine owners manual for a Darrin 161. By pristine I mean only shelf wear, no dirt, no tape, and its never been folded flat. Its been more than a few years (decades) but I recall my father telling me that his hands are in some of the pictures.
So my question(s);
I read BEN-TEX article about the Darrin manual having 44 pages. This one has 40 pages and its dated 1954. Can someone enlighten me as to what I have?
Next I have some of Dad's KF engine tools. One is really strange and I think that its a tool for adjusting valve lifters. It has a turns counting pointer. Is there a reference for the KF tools (with pictures)?
