John, my wife could supply the Canadian market if your wife wants to go International. On this subject, not that I plan to remove a cam this way, I have wondered if you couldn't fabricate a tool with rare earth magnets to hold the lifter up during the cam change. I can visualize the cloths pins slipping off at the worst possible time. However, the problem with magnets, although I see that Ford advocates the use of magnets in the shop manual, is that they attract metal debris. Since the magnet will induce some magnetism into the lifter any metal debris will be difficult to extract and will undoubtedly find its way into the lifter bore. I suppose one could lay a sheet of saran wrap over the lifters before getting the magnet anywhere near them.

And here’s the link to the thread showing a picture of the lifter tool used to install the tappets by way of the cam tunnel. Clothes pins still have to be used as the lifters are placed in their respective holes.

The service manual shows the wooden clothes pins that John is talking about being used to hold the lifters in place while the camshaft is being serviced in the vehicle. Here’s the excerpt from the 1957 Service Manual.
