MK Indy nut size
Morning all.
Can anyone tell me the size of the large nuts that adust/lock the camber of the rear wheel on the Indy.
Last trip out got home to find one of the rear wheels completely loose of the nuts had slackened off. Can't get a spanner on there and none of
my sockets are large enough.
Was going to source a socket today but fogot to measure before leaving the house. either that or any info/tips on how to get them done up nice and
tight so they won't undo as in situ they're a bit awkward to get at.
Cheers
Nigel

30mm (AFAIK)
I used a massive socket and an adjustable spanner as you need to hold the inner one still while you tighten the outer one.

Cheers for the offer Paul. I'm on a 4 day week at the moment so I was going to pop in on Wednesday and see if they had any half nut nylocs of
that size.
Out of curiosity where did you source your socket from? or is it part of a set? If this turns out to be a frequent re visit for the time being until I
sort it out I may invest in one.
Cheers

Just seen Halfords do a deep socket for £7 or a standard 30mm for £5. I'll probably pick one up for that sort of money.
