No chance. This is for a Vauxhall remember ;D


Make sure you get a good selection ::)

A bar from T20 - T50 or so should be the ticket ;)

Think the plenum ones can be removed with a 10mm socket mate...

Not what I ment.

I ment that whilst the things were being built, monkeys would provide the nuts and bolts in varying sizes, which ever was closest at the time

Was in Halfords today looking for Torx, They have them individually at £3.39 ea or have a set of E6 - E16 (even Nos) for about £13 but did not have the E20 that I wanted. Found a set in my local shop with all up to E20 for £12.
