C-spanner/hook wrench?

[SlowRide]

Needing a c-spanner, hook-wrench, or coil-over wrench (whatever they're called) ASAP. One of these guys:

Any ideas where I could source one? I can't seem to find any leads apart from Ebay, but i'll be flying back north to work on monday - hoping to find one today if possible.

Motorbike shop? I have one for adjusting my rear coil springs.

They might be a bit small for your application.

AIS (Australian Industrial Supplies) show them in their catalogue. See http://www.aisnational.com.au/sites/aisnational.com.au/files/AIS_Directory_428.pdf

Dunno where in WA you are, but the AIS site has a store finder. There is a AIS supplier, All Tools, in Bayswater.

Trade Tools, BSC, prob. Repco or most motoring tool shops.
Iirc my cheapie one is Toledo, so anyone selling Toledo (motor tool shops, bearing/Bly suppliers, etc.) will likely have one on the shelf.

It looks like you don't have Trade Tools in WA. But you do have Blackwoods:

Edit: if you can't get one from any of our suggestions, it's quite easy to make one if you have access to a suitable bit of steel, a heat source capable of getting the steel to orange heat, a heavy-ish hammer & something to use as an anvil - any bit of moderately heavy steel that won't bend as you're hammering will do. A large flange, a sledge hammer head, an axle shaft for a few eg's. Let me know if you want some instructions.

Thanks guys. Will pencil them all in for a look when the shops open :)

Any decent engineering supplier would stock a range of c-spanners and pin spanners. Common tool in fitters work. Not so commonly stocked in shops catering to motor parts replacers.
