Where can I get Clutch Drive Tips

Went to all our local hardware stores and could only find 3/16 and smaller.

Anyone have a good source for the next 2 sizes up? trying to remove the hood latch on my 49 to get the emblem off.

You might get them off of a tool truck like Mac or Snap-On, but if not there EBay would be my next place to look. You might also try NAPA but I'm doubtful about that.

I got my three size set from Jim Carter, they are screwdriver type, but I just clamp on vicegrip when I need the leverage.

It was in the early 80's when he and Grumpy in Arizona were pretty much the only guys in town. Way before the internet, I actually found out about Carter because one of his salesman going thru Boise on a vacation trip put his card under my truck wiper in the Airport parking lot where I was doing business. See you found them online....
