Diddy socket set

[yelrow]

Hi, i have the Hornby Con rod spanner, but my Norfolk and western, Rivarossi, has just shed a Con rod bolt. I have nothing to use on it, as Hornby one is too small. Does anyone have diddy sockets, and if so, from where did they acquire them. Looked for Rivarossi con rod spanner, with no success.

Look on line for nut spinners. They come in fairly cheap sets.

I’ve seen them cheaper than this. Just to give you an idea.

Hi, thanks, its one of these, the one what fits hornby, i have. Was unaware that they came in sets. Will investigate. Will need to know size of nut, perhaps.

Anyone know size of hornby one, then i can make sure my set includes next one up.

Its 2.5mm for Hornby to detach things like speedo cables when disassembling/reassembling locos.

Brian, thanks , will look for next one up, or set, if affordable
