Car accessories from the 1960's and 1970's, do you remember these?

If there's a splash, I'm sure you will hear about it lol...

Snap I have an old wooden ladder that I leave over my small pond with two planks of decking in the middle !

Do you remember the S.P.Q.R. Mini tappet adjusting tool ? It had a ratchet attached to a screw driver tip with a socket on it. A small chart told you how many clicks you needed to give 12 thousands of an inch adjustment. It was better than feeler gauges as it allowed for wear of the rocker etc.
