Tom_Arundel Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 As an aside....I put 2 spanner flats on mine to avoid the hex socket/De Dion tube, so I can fill it thro` the boot floor without jacking the car up.....One of my better mods!

Wrightpayne Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 i just use a cut down allen key with about 13mm protruding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 And mine has a hex head from a bolt welded on it. So much easier to undo...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Belding Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Did the welding de-magnetise it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Can't say I've noticed..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 M20x1.5I changed mine to a hex head version much easier access with a spanner as opposed to an Allen key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
