Hi, I loaned my Bristol Spanner out quite some years ago and never got it back, so I'm looking around.

Snap-on have "S" shaped spanners/wrenches in imperial AF sizes. IF the cylinder head nuts are 3/8" Whitworth then I beleive it would apparently be 1/2" AF?

Snap-on SBX 1416 is 1/2" and 7/16". The cost including post and vat is £42.66 and I have just been quoted this. They are out of stock in the UK at the moment but I aim to try one if I can get the cylinder head nut size confirmed.

I've only ever seen one for sale on EBAY and this went for about £100 or so. I can go back to the time a cylinder head complete with running gear was £89.50. I wish I had a shed full !!!!!!!
