But we are now thinking of cutting it in half and getting 2 out of it, it would probably be abit hard for the screw driver method when it's half the length it is now;) could be wrong:angel:

not at all.......


weld a tube or bit of pipe across the end.......
and put your screw driver through that.........


or just weld a handle on it.......but this will take up more space in a tool kit.......

Righto we'll see:)

Got both of them pretty much done today (we cut it in half to get 2 out of it)

Ended up using a 19mm nut welded to the back plate, works well for doing it up:)

Hi Gavin TDI300
You wrote I went to the hardware store plumbing section and bought one for $7.

Gavin what was this spanner for as I checked local hardware and he didn't have anything like this size.
What store did you get it from as really interested in one.

regards Jukebox 96 Disco TDI 300 :)

Just back from the UK with a suitcase full of LR spares. Included is a hub nut spanner, cost 3 pounds 98 pence ($8) from Paddocks.

So the next person going north could bring some back. Alternatively, if anyone in the Bris area is desperate, mine's available to hire for the price of a beer :-)

Having said that, your's looks a good solid job. I'd echo the comment about drilling a couple of holes for a lever though.
