Default C Spanners???

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I could buy a couple of C Spanners that I can use to adjust some coilovers? I have tried all the usual tool shops and no one seems to sell them, a couple of them suggested that I try a motorbike spares/accessory shop as they use them but I have not had any luck and I have been driving around all day!!

I have a set of coilovers that I am going to fit at the weekend and wanted the C Spanner in case the height needs adjusting when I fit them!!

Any idea’s people??

Thanks

I've got C-spanners to adjust the coil overs on my bike, but I doubt very much they will fit as bikes are a lot smaller than car suspension.

You'd be better off looking for an engineering supplier, like machine mart, HiFlex in basildon may do them, or LTW in Coryton, if I was in work, I could check my catalogues, but not back till next week

Saying that mine are still oiled up & wrapped in the bag they came in.

Virgin spanners. And you don't get many of them in Essex.

Happy New Year to you & yours from me & mine.
