I require some help please---has any body out there got a spare Fiat 500/600/850 tappet adjusting tool? It looks like e red-handled screw-driver, but has a 'female' slot in it which fits over the top of the tappet. I am trying to purchase 1 of these tools to give as a 'welcome to the Fiat 500 club' present to a friend of mine. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Welcome back and congratulations on the new 'Man Cave'


You can still buy the tappet adjusting tool- not quite Fiat quality but cheap enough:

Thank you for the input Damon, much appreciated.

Thank you for the tip Damon. I have purchased the tappet tool from Gunter Markhof (as well as a couple of other parts, including a set of FACTORY crankshaft main bearings HE STILL HAS FEW LEFT). I received 1st class service from him--my parts were with me 3 working days after my money had been transferred. That is the only down-side, he won't accept card payment. The tool looks quite a sensible bit of kit.
