[QUOTE="Dave, post: 2316, member: 253"] Some tools I restyled to make life easy. All require recalc of torque settings. 3/8 open end and 7/16 ring (box) are the right size for 3/8 square drive torque wrench For valve clearance locknut, cut 10mm ring spanner in half and weld on half a 7/16 spanner allows correct torque to be applied. For carby sinc looknut, weld 7/16 spanner to 8mm deep (long) 1/4 drive socket and drill hole thru center of socket out to 1/4", allows correct torque while holding adjuster screw. For exauhst headers, weld 7/16 spanner to 13mm (or whatever) socket, allows torque wrench to be used on rear nuts. NOTE - YOU MUST RECALC THE TORQUE SETTING OR THESE TOOLS WILL OVER TORQUE AND BREAK STUFF your torque wrench supplier will have info on these calcs Now you get the idea there are lots more I just havnt needed yet, you should see my Harley tool box :lol: [/QUOTE]
