Outer Limits 4x4 Board

So, after 2 1/2 years on the board I figured i would ask a n00b question

I have to put the tailshaft back on the buggy.

Now I only have metric spanners and sockets................

Therefore it stands to reason that the nuts on the tailshaft are imperial

So, they are in between a 17mm (too big) and 15mm (too small) - I dont have a 16mm to test out

What would they be ?

Help a not so old dude out

16mm is 5/8 roughly.

Helps if i read the question right hey?

5/8 is a touch smaller than 16mm, if you get a single hex and bash it on with a hammer it should work.

try5/8

25mm is around an inch.
so 16mm = around 5/8ths
very ruff calculation tho.
just find a ruler with both styles on.
thats what I do

look what google got me

Apparently, Google is YOUR friend

Thanks

Off to the shop for a 5/8 - I have some wheeling to do on the weekend

what about an ajustable spanner or a nifty new thingo the stanley have come up with that is a cross between an ajustable wrench and vice grips
