Ive got an SCS built Yb with 6 long stud.

Now i need to get the head off but havnt got a socket that will fit over the stud nut and in the gap.

The hole is around 23.5mm but the nut has got to be atleast an 18mm.

Can you get slim sockets, or am i going to have to get one turned down ?


Cheers

 

need one turned down mate

 

Cheers Jimbo.

Dont spose you remember if they are 18mm or not do you ?

 

im sure they are mate !

 

cheers buddy.

Will get one turned down on monday

 

the nuts on my long studs are 21mm you got to machine them down they are so thin i cut my jeans with the end of the socket but it does the job

 

how big was the OD of the socket after you turned it down Andy ?

 

my mate borrowed it id have to get it back & measure

 

not to worry matey. i tried to measure the gap with a vernier but couldnt get it in lol

 

i have never heard the expression turned down?does it just mean shaving the socket to make it more narrow?

 

just keep shaving one down untill it fits....

depending on what nuts have been used theyre 18 normaly..

cheers danny

 

Yep, just get it on a lathe and make it smaller

Unfortunatly i dont have a lathe, so going back and forth isnt realy an optionas i need to get the head off asap

 

why dont you get a socket that fits just down the hole and take that to the machine shop and say i want the 18mm the same outside diameter as the one that fits, cant go wrong

 

Thats my plan Jimbo

 

you can buy one of them counter top spinning stones for about a tenner from halfords,that l do it ...

 

this head is coming off next time i'm down, my toes cant take anymore cold, they are on the verge of dropping off as it is

 

Haha, it was warm when i started... even if everythign was covered in snow lol
