1/2" rings a bell but measure before buying as I'm not 100%.

I seem to remember I struggled to find a socket mounted hex bit, so I made my own from an old 1/2" socket and a cut off 1/2 allen key.

HOl don men, it may be an inperial thread but it is clearly cut from a stock bolt after the origional bolt has been made and blacked, there froe it could be mad eform an M20 for all we know,

Actually Carl has point. Upon looking at it again mine is slightly different being about 8 years old, it is a standard cap head bolt with a non threaded portion. The one in the link is a modified bolt by the looks of it I seriously doubt it! |

Beats me why Minispares dont sell the 1/2" allen socket. If they pointed out in the description that the bolt needs this socket and pointed the buyer to the right tool, Im sure they would sell as nearly many sockets as bolts. I have pointed this out to Gavin but it looks like it might have fallen on deaf ears perhaps. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
