And here i was thinking they were rely hard to come by

Mine came in the back of my Landy when I bought the Blue Defender

BTW did you know they fit the caps on Maxi-Drives? Thats what I originally thought it was for

Upon saying that I do admire your idea, I was just thinking the other day as well. You see I need a light bar for roof spotties, and I thought yes got it, I'll find an old nudge bar and modify the mounts. I knew where there was one too. But it had gone

But just now I had a bright idea wreckers are your friends

thats a nice tool........

but it still needs to have a hole drilled through it on one end.......on the two opposite flats......
so you can stick a bar through it for a bit of leverage........



the locking nut needs to be done up firm.......


im greek.......i use a hammer and chisel.......

Next will be some holes or similar, maybe something for a 1/2" ratchet
We have also previously used a hammer and chisel

TIM.

hammer and chisel was we used to use in the dealership..........





because we could never find the hub nut socket when we needed it......









its easy to make a half inch ratchet fit if you can drill a half inch square hole.........
otherwise......just weld a socket or similar in the end.......

but just a simple pin through it will do the job.........you can get it more that tight enough with a screw driver stuck through it.......

the lock tab will stop it all from coming undone........what youve made so far is perfect for the job.......
