18mm Socket
« on: November 05, 2011, 11:39:45 am »
As I can't find the search anymore...might just be me.

I need to ask does anyone know if halfords sell an 18mm Deep Socket?

Put my Autotech internals in and need one to tighten the seal holder.

Only bloody size I haven't got.

Thanks, but doesn't help as pump is off and need it to tighten the seal.

Misread the instructions and didn't see the "deep" part.

Halfords don't sell....so I'm knackered.

Uxbridge.

Crisis averted....called my mate and is certain he has one.....will get it in about an hour... :ashamed:

Lesson learnt....never assume you professional halfords kit has what you need......

Had to buy a flaming spline set last month.

What's wrong with using normal size  :grin:
