Need tools - help
Sorry to trouble you SV folk but as a fellow SV owner experience shows you are one friendly and helpful bunch of folk and like me there are a number on here that have Triumphs like me too!
I need a 46mm socket for the rear wheel nut of my Daytona but I've searched high and low (it seems) but can't find anyone that stocks them. Any ideas anyone? |

Although you'll probably find they are all 3/4" drive, I use a old 1/2" socket and grind it down square, then press fit it into the 3/4" hole.
Cheers Mark.
