Default box spanner

Hi Francesco

These box spanners are actually very easy to make from a bit of thick walled tube if you have an oxy torch and a big hammer. The hardest bit is finding a lock nut will a full set of corners after years of having the life chiselled out of them. Just heat up the tube and knock some flats into it... It works a treat! An old toolmaker showed me how to do it some years back.. Best to use a piece of tube slightly bigger than the point to point size of the nut... but its not that critical..

I've made them for my C8 and C8A over the years

kind regards

Nick
