Ive just bought an extended crank damper bolt (the cap head type minispares sell) but I can't find anywhere that sells single hex bits. Im after 1/2" drive 1/2" hex size.

Hex bolt for the crank damper? What a terrible idea bearing in mind how tight you have to do it! Sounds a recipe for rounding off! On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:

Well it has been sold and used for quite a lot of engines for 10 years at least, and I have never heard about any other problems other than it being a bit too long for some cranks, so I do not think that is a problem if you have the correct tools |

I ended up making one from a 1/2" allen key cut down welded to an old 1/2" drive 13mm socket.

1/2" to 3/8" drive converter? If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Ive just bought that set on ebay for £8. I tried using an 5/16 bolt with a spacer and nut welded to it in a desperation but it just twisted under the torque. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

I hate not being able to finish a job and having to wait a few days for things to come, it is amazing what you can come up with given a bit of ingenuity.

Mad idea I know, but why not go to a shop? I know it's a bit old fashioned, but it might just work On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Good idea in principle, but you try and find somewhere with one on the shelf!

^^^^exactly, with it being imperial it makes it even harder to get hold of. We have some good tool shops around here and none of them stock anything above 10mm! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Had to order one. There's a really good tool shop at Attercliffe near the railway lines. Had loads of this type of thing in, but I wasn't looking specifically at them....

That is what I did for the 17mm hex on the driveshaft doing the cv gaiter on the Passat last week after buying the special tool that tom recommended for the clips. Turned out the bloke was only 12 miles away! On 5th Sep, 2011 Vegard said:
