Torque to me.

Post by Geoff. Ruffell »

After a lifetime spannering cars with a socket set, I am now confronted with a workshop manual quoting torque settings for cap screws. Can I get a set of hex. key sockets, or is there a torque wrench adaptor? Any tips would be gratefully received.
Cheers.
Geoff.

Geoff,
Halfords (and others) should be able to sort you out with some Hex head sockets.
Peter.

Not surprised that Richard at Astle would be happy to loan you the 1200S,
Look where its got me!!!

Halford pro range is cheap and not too bad.

The bigger boys use snap-on; but you'd need to sell the bike to buy 'em

Thanks for the prompt responses. Halfordsd seems the best bet, if only because they don't sell 1200S's.

Motorworld do a decent set, not very expensive if I remember correctly.
