Spanner sizes

Post by bob121 »

Can anyone tell me what the spanner sizes are for the top Yoke nut and bolt are (1960 M31 DL).
We moved house before Christmas and I loaded up one tool chest and brought that thinking that it had what I needed. Everything is in storage, which I'm not going to get at any time soon. Cheers.

Frustratingly can't find my large adjustable. I think that's packed away as well. I tried to make do with the oversize whits that I do have and ended up damaging the chrome. :headbang: Replacements on the way from Steve.

Sorry. Anything that I've taken off the bike that still has a life I keep. I would have just had them replated. I did that originally. But that's not exactly an option right now.

Just went through the draw spanners I brought to the new house. I have a brittool 7/8w and it's slightly too big?
I'll see if I can order a couple of new shiny king dicks. :shock:
