Diff Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 (edited) Anyone not to far away got one I can borrow please?want it for this weekend, can collect resonaable distance and leave a donation for the loan TIA Tony Hi Tony, if you can't find one to borrow, you could buy one of these pretty cheap online or most motor accessory shops even Halfords are likely to stock them. I am assuming that you have a torque wrench for the initial torque setting. http://www.drapertools-online.com:8080/b2c...?pp_skmno=13698 Hope this helps, Regards, Diff Edited to add: My apologies if you meant the small low range torque wrench for timing belts as pointed out by John T Edited December 9, 2005 by Diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selectcase Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I picked one up from halfords for about £12.00 it fits on an ordinary torque wrench you are welcome to borrow it if you need one but i amy be a little far away cheers will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_T Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 The thing in Tim'slink is an angular gauge of which I have one. However, by the term "dial" type torque wrench I guess you mean the more expensive gauge with the clock type dial to tell you what torque you are applying. The alternative is the cheap bendy wire type torque wrench where the "bendy" wire points at the torque on a scale. The dial type is usually used for setting timing belt tension whereas the angular gauge is for things like head bolts. I have a bendy wire torque wrench as well as the angular gauge and am in Wellington if you want them. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white90 Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 (edited) yes that would be a superb idea for holding an adjuster at 11ft/lbs whilst tightening an adjuster... Doh! do you have those pics of the three type of ball joint yet? Edited December 12, 2005 by white90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
