C&P Pilot grippers
Hello—
We’re trying to move the grippers for the first time on our C&P Old Style Pilot. Does anyone know what kind and size of tool is needed? It looks like we need a square-shaped something, and it’s also very hard to reach in the space.
Thank you!
It is a difficult spot to reach with a tool of any great length. I found a small wrench at a flea market which worked well for the heads on those square-head bolts.
Another option would be to take the bolts out and replace with an Allen-head (hex-head) set-screw available at most hardware purveyors. The ball-head hex wrenches allow reaching those screws from several angles, and might be an improvement.
If it proves to be a real pain you can also remove the gripper bar entirely and that way you’ll have easy access to the gripper screws.
Thanks—we’ll see what we can do!
