Hey guys: I just happen to have 9 (nine) NOS-NIB Genuine Shimano chainring bolt prong tools. These have the nice centering position guide. $4 postage paid to you. I'll ship in nice padded bag, which you can pin onto your workshop wall. Then if you slip off the chainring bolt you can bang your head on the bag so you won't do further cranial damage. The first damage is when you skinned your knuckles, jerked your head up and hit the bike stand. Get one while they last. PMO., Check, coin of realm, piece of eight. NO Paypal. Please send your address. Ted Ernst
