(The flex track clamp are also of great interest to me) Unfortunately they do not ship to Canada. Do you know of any other tools I could use that I would find in North America or of a dealer that carries the Fohrmann tools. Thanks

Thanks but I have search for hours on those two, prior to asking here, as I thought they would be the ticket but I have not found anything inn the 13.8 mm range. May be my search parameters were wrong

I have been ordering from them for years and have never had a problem with them sending to Canada. The 3 items that you mentioned are great tools. I believe that Canada no longer appears in their pulldown menu, BC never did. So on my last order I just sent them an e-mail telling them what I needed and we proceeded from there. Perhaps COVID changed that. Peter

Shipping was not cheap but I think what I ordered from them and could not find anywhere else is worth it. They are in GÖRLITZ very eastern city in Germany which seems a beautiful place to visit. Never heard of it before.

Never heard of it before. IIRC there are Gorlitz bogies fitted to coaches, so I assume there is(has been?) heavy manufacturing there in the past.
