Hi again Tony. As I have the forks and dampers fitted to save me taking one out. Can you give me an internal measurement of the squashed sides please.

Halfords is too good, a cheap chinese socket is what you need :D

Hi Tony :smt039, as you say the Halfords socket was too good to destroy, I put it in my tool chest for save keeping.
Popped along to my local car boot today and purchased two 14mm sockets to butcher and squash and
a 12mm socket to make into a claw. 50p each both look cheap and Chinese made.

All the best Mike πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸοΈπŸοΈ :smt039
