Maybe I looked in the wrong places but I need a 13/16ths thin wall socket, the mm equivilent is fractionally too big, and I've had to buy it from the States.

I was guestimating the size.

It be a sad state of affairs if proper sized tools can't be purchased in the UK anymore.

I think that it's only because I need a deep thinwall one.

I've got a few standard ones but have changed the MGs wheels and none fit. I need to get them off to rustproof it, a fun job for the next few days. They've been put on with a windy gun so I'm trying to maximise my chances of success without rounding the nuts off.

Stillsons are good for wheel nuts if you can get them on that is.

The wheel design precludes them I'm afraid.

If he wants to change his wheels in fishnets and stilettos who are we to criticise him?

At least he didn't post any pictures.
