    Hi chaps, does anyone have an idea as to what exactly would have been supplied with a 250/275 LM in the way of tools?

    A traditional roll similar to SWB or 275GTB?

    I recall talk once upon a time of a wooden tool box like a 50’s sports car coming with an LM?

    Any thoughts or pictures welcome!

    Thanks

    James

    The toolkit in the photo is not entirely correct. It contains some later era tools. 250LM's had a normal late 250/early 330 toolkit. It was pulled off the shelf like any other toolkit of that era. No special tools.

    Steve: Compare the photo of the car toolkit and the factory photo, and you will find a number of incorrect pieces.

    The 250 LM has wheel hubs with 32 splines whereas the 250 GTE/330GT cars have wheel hubs with 42 splines so the LM will need a different size Hub Removal Tool won't it?

    thank you steven
    have not known that such a tool belongs to the "normal" tool box for the driver. for me this is more special tool for repair shop.
    but on one side the thread is clockwise, the other side anticlockwise. so how this tool will work for both sides? a photo from the inside would be great.

    what please is/are "splines"? can not find in the google translator

    This is a complete reproduction toolkit and not accurate for any Enzo era Ferrari.

    250 LM, all 275s and 330/365 GTC/S have 32 hubs and would use the same hub pullers.

    So the 250 LM left the factory with an 'ordinary' toolkit, similar to any 250 toolkit? 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso 4627GT toolkit attached for reference.
