    Is it any old butterfly wrentch or a specific brand/type?
    • Standard old butterfly. You have space & might want to beef up the air piston from the small one I have.
    • Find a 12 point socket for the drawbar.
    • Air plumbing (in my case) used 3 air solenoids.
    • The long strip in the design suits a limit switch to start the wrench.
    • Cut an internal relief for the piston clamp
    • Source a couple of linear bearings for the wrench plate travel
    • The bars were silver steel (what I had in stock at the time), they're holding up fine.

    Thats very good of you. thank you :) couldnt understand what you meant then for a sec - so a roller type limit switch will start the wrentch as the piston ends it stroke ? I pretty sure ive got it.
