Hi,
As title, it's bigger than the Mini one I already have.
Can't find anything to fit, can't remember what I used 10 years ago!
Happy to cover postage costs plus beer tokens :)
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Any idea what size it is? I've got a couple of big sockets in the garage.

Check the size carefully - I have a 46mm A/F enormous great combination spanner in the garage that I used to get the OEM ones off....

When I went to fit the new aftermarket ones, the hexagon was smaller.....

I can't remember exactly what the smaller size was, or what I used, but I remember being VERY annoyed.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

Hi,
The OEM ones are long gone I'm about to fit the second set of after-market. I'll measure them up this evening.
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Hi,
1 13/16" or 46mm. The imperial is the size I've seen listed on t'internet too.
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Gavin

how quickly do you need it? I've got the correct one in the workshop but it will be a couple of days before I can pick it up

Gavin, I did not realise that PLASTIC PIGS in green have ball joints?
