Wanted to borrow - 23mm or 1/2" Whitworth Open end spanner - Melbourne

[Homestar]

The name of the thread says it all - I need to borrow if at all possible an open ended spanner that is 23mm or 1/2" Whitworth - either will be close enough. 7/8 is too small and 15/16 is too big and looks like it will damage the fitting and slip if I try too hard. There is no room to get a shifter, vice grips, stilsons, etc in there without removing a lot of stuff, so if anyone in the Melbourne area has one I can borrow it would be greatly appreciated.

I only need to undo one fitting so I can get it back within 24 hours. Can pickup pretty much anywhere in Melbourne.

Thanks in advance.

Next time your at the sunday markets... have a look around for the cheap spanner sets that step from 6mm -> 32mm. They are worth there weight in gold. The quality is actually ok'ish and there so cheap you can modify/cut/bend them as required.

It's amazing how often I've used the weird size spanners with land rovers and citroens here.

Oh, mine was missing 31mm (I didn't realise they had included two 30mm instead)... so double check all the weird sizes are there :)
