10K tensioner formed part of the aircraft toolkit but tended to damage the adjacent floor in the hands of a mover (if anyone's offended sorry), my much preferred on board tool was the crash axe at 245.

The drop noses were stiff for a reason as too loose a pin resulted in having to drive the pins through when they "dropped" inside the trans beams. Method in the annoyance you see.

Sorry for the ROLE drift, just another chapter in the mighty K, I used to ask all the new lads to shuffle of and find the first aircraft type that the "scrap metal" was ever fitted to.
