MG MGB Technical - Large AF Sockets
Im looking to buy some larger than 1 AF sockets that may require to be used on British cars from the 50s to 80s. Rather than buy all the sizes from 1 to 3 AF, Im looking to have the popular ones that would be on BMC and Standard Triumph cars not commercials. What I have found to date are detailed below, has any one further suggestions. 1 5/16 lots of BMC cars and I have a one. 34mm is similar. 1 13/16" 1500 midget and 1500 Spitfire crankshaft pulley nut. 46mm is similar. 1 7/8 Midget rear hub nut. 48mm is similar. I will buy impact sockets that are hex i.e. six sided. I noticed the MGA has a 1 15/16 eight sided rear hub nut but they seem difficult to source and I only know of one car in the area, so I will let the owner look after that. Comments welcome and cross posted on various Triumph, MG and other BMC forums. eddie |
