Based upon EdwardB's recommendations I was getting ready to place my order for the Breeze remanufactured Power Steering Rack and Offset Bushings, and came across this seemingly handy prepacked set of stuff: #71225 Assembly Tools and Supplies Group
http://www.breezeautomotive.com/details.php?prod_id=828
I need to order some Cleco's and a set of pliers anyway, and I can see where the other items would be useful. (Though I do have enough drill bits!) Anyway, what's your opinion: Is this pack a good way to get what you need to get started, or would I be better off to just buy the items I need from multiple sources? How useful/necessary is the rivet fan spacing tool since the MKIV kit comes with a spacing ruler?
Thanks for your counsel.

Jazzman, you may know about aircraftspruce.com but if not check them out. I think good prices.

I bought the Breeze package and liked that it provided all the tools I needed. As with anything from Breeze it is great!

I know lots of guys like the fan spacing tool. Personally, I'm fine with using the FFR spacing tool and doing simple math for something other than the 2 and 3 inch spacing on the FFR tool. I've been fine with using the FFR recommended silicone adhesive from our local big box stores vs. the Bostik poly adhesive. The various RTV's and sealants are all at our local parts stores, if I don't already have on hand. Already have an automatic center punch. Never found the need to use a coilover tool. So I guess, with all due respect to Mark and I agree about his outstanding products and customer service, this isn't something I would buy.
x2 an Aircraft Spruce. I bought my original cleco kit from a local tool store, but supplemented my supply from Aircraft Spruce. Also a good source for very high quality #10 and #30 bits, and the best price I've found for 6061 aluminum sheet if you need it.
