Call R_DIRTY_3, Brad. He works with these everyday! He might have SOMETHING that resembles a C Spanner :(

I do!

I have 2 options for you. I have some new ones i can sell you, OR i can lend you a set. However, i do require a $50 to guarantee return....Not saying i dont trust you, but ive lost several sets in the past. $50 will be given back to you when the spanners come back :(

nah they not that bad, lasted me a few goes....

only thing is, your knuckles cop a good beating when the spanner tip wears.. heh

Thats why you should buy/use decent quality ones. Your poor knuckles dont deserve that lol

The Tein C Spanners are probably the best on the market.

With a specially designed hooking part they can be used to adjust 70, 90 and 132mm spring seat/lock rings.

They also have a 12.7mm hole so if you really need to use a lot of force you can use astandard breaker bar.

And as the material is only 6mm thick, it will locate into lock rings, with less chance of slipping out, than others that are claimed stronger at 7 or even 8mm thick.

So there ya go. Lesson 1 in C Spanners :D

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
