Gappers Unite!

So I made a call to all my Pro Wrench buddies to send me pics of their gapping tools. The best set wins a round of drinks at the Falconer in Redlands.

Gapping tools are used by pro mechanics to ensure that the wheels that are carried in the team or neutral cars are the right gap. So when you jump out of the car to do a wheel change all you should have to do is take the dirty wheel out and slapthe new one in and close the quick release. Easy Peezy.

Send me your pics dudes. My buddy Brook Watts is going old school with these (pictured above). Thanks Brook.
