Dan Marsh Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Does anyone in/around Cardiff have a 41mm socket that I could borrow to tighten my drive shafts? Thanks DM My Sigma 125 SV build photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderlane Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hi Dan, Not local to you I'm afraid - but the cheapest place I found to get one online was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Marsh Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Bargain! For that price I might as wel get one. I was expecting to need to pay 4 times that much. Need to go on another little spending spree anyway to buy carpet tape/velcro, glue, MORE masking tape and new drill bits. Also need to find a garage that will straighten the pad-locating notches in one of my brake pistons as they are off-vertical alignment at the moment so the pad won't fit. Going to book the IVA for about a months time too. Scary! Cheers DM My Sigma 125 SV build photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ford Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Don't forget you'll need a 1/2 to 3/4 drive adapter, unless you've already got a 3/4 inch ratchet or the like. Edit: here. Edited by - Roger Ford on 4 May 2010 10:04:34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Marsh Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Already got that one as I found that most of my sockets in the size range needed to do the build are 3/8" and my torque wrenches are 1/2" and 1/4". So I have both step-up and down adapters. Still doesn't help in getting to some of those awkward nut/bolt heads though!!

spiderlane Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yes it's sometimes very hard (or impossible) to get the wrench with adapters in place. I had to get creative during my front suspension assembly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Support Team Shaun_E Posted May 4, 2010 Support Team Share Posted May 4, 2010 I got mine off ebay - think it was this one. This is a) 1/2" drive and b) an impact socket so can be used with an impact gun. Not too much more money either.

Dan Marsh Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Ah yes, another adapter will be needed then. Thanks DM My Sigma 125 SV build photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
