Begging a favour - peg spanners for engine mounts.
Lo all!
Currently stripping down my sv1000 to get some bits tarted up! A wee winter project. I've managed to get everything off except the bits that need special tools - swingarm castelated locknut, castelated engine bolts, engine mount thrust nuts, and steering stem castelated nuts! I was wondering if a kind orger would let me borrow these? I know you can buy them on ebay but I'll probably only ever use it once. I'm in Scotland and will cover any costs of course! Or does anyone have any tips without resorting to hammers and screwdrivers? Thanks! |

Or get some cheap sockets and cut/notch them with a hacksaw?

Re: Begging a favour...
I be in the Borders/Edinburgh region
I tried the hammer and punch but so far only succeeded in mangling one of the lugs a bit, and I cant get at the engine ones as the frames too deep. I'm not needing them anytime soon, probably next weekend at the earliest, got plenty bits to clean in the meantime! |
