Hi
I am wondering which size this spanner is. The nut size doesn't match any size spanner I have! I even ordered an old oddball spanner from the UK in anticipation.
No way. Can someone also post a picture of the spanner supplied by the factory?
TIA
Knut

I use a metric adjustable to find the best fit.

I used a 2BA spanner today to strip the rockers, a worn 8mm will do also. (I wonder if we are talking single or twin???, I think singles are 3/16 whit).

I got mine from AMC CLASSIC. It has an original pattern, and very nice to use. I can recommend.

Hi Jean-Noel,JEAN-NOEL wrote:I got mine from AMC CLASSIC. It has an original pattern, and very nice to use. I can recommend.
Yes, I have noticed Steven is selling those. Russell Motors also have them (maybe a genuine toolset item). 2BA has 0.324" (8.23mm) across flats (AF).
Imperial 11/32 (8.73mm) is just too large. 21/64 would be perfect, but I've never seen a spanner this size. Is yours a combination box/open end spanner?
Would you please post a picture?
Cbranni: We are talking of the securing bolt at the twin's excentric rocker shaft. Nice picture - thanks!
G15Roy: I am not sure what a metric adjustable spanner is. Normal adjustable spanners should be considered a no-no for small size bolts and nuts. When the flats become worn, the nut is impossible to grip and will need to be ground off using a Dremel grinder. Then it's goodbye to the bolt as well.
Thanks for the input!
Regards,
Knut

Re: 015264 Spanner, rocker spindle securing bolt nut
the nut is 2 BA, so a 2BA spanner is correct
