Yes, in fact I had one from Schaff about 25 years ago and overnight I 
seemed to recall I  had one of my little drawers marked "pully keys". 
This morning I went straight to it and that's how I've done it.  It's 
a very well designed tool.  Unfortunately the holes in the Tufnol 
washers are a tiny bit too big for these balance pins so I'm wiping a 
little epoxy round the inside as I glue them in and will ream them 
out.  This is certainly the quick fix I needed and I don't know why I 
didn't think of it before.

Thank you.

JD
