Trying to put together a WW2 Aircraft Mechanic Tool Box

[aliendude96]

Hi Everyone! I am looking to put together a WW2 aircraft mechanic tool kit and could use some help finding tools. I have done some research but still figuring out what i need to collect. I have a few Plomb Wright field DBE wrenches & a 1/2 DR. Plomb - WF speeder. I live in Canada and i am stuck buying tools on EBAY right now and it *****! i would like to start collecting AC designated Wright tool company tools, but buying 1 item at a time and paying 30$ CAD in shipping is not a good option. If anyone got a suggestion on how i could go about collecting these types of tools here in Canada or got any tools (more then 1 at a time lol) i could purchase that would be great. I would like to note that i am using these tools at work, Light applications of course.. so they need to be functional!

There were various kits in various boxes. Here's a link to a post of mine on a different site, G503.com, with links to several different threads on the topic, with numerous references.

On that same site, here is a thread about my efforts to gather Navy NAF and related tools from WW2. They are in my Navy NAF toolbox made by Kennedy.
