Having stripped my suspension apart to modify my upper wishbones what nut/spanner size for GTS camber adjuster?
Calipers are saying 26.4mm. Is this something imperial?
I can use a 27mm I guess but as it's ali* I don't want to damage it. I'm tempted to file it down to 26mm but it's anodised so will
ruin that!
Cheers,
James
* Yes, I know there's an issue with these ali ones. Chippy's and others for example. I've done 1700miles with mine and there's no
sign of wear currently, for now, they'll have to do until I can afford to replace them!
1 - 1/16" AF would be 26.98mm
I don't think there is a Whit / BSF one any closer....

I used to use an adjustable
- as you are only holding it when tightening the lock nut it doesn't suffer any damage
rather than file the adjuster, i'd get a 26mm spanner, and file that out a bit
Just to add to my worries, I now think I'm being a little stupid ignoring this problem:

personally i think you should do more than just look into it. why risk thousands of pounds worth of car on a crummy aluminium adjuster when there are good steel ones available for very little money. i may be a little biased though as i did have one of the ali ones fail catastrophically. luckily my mate chris that was driving at the time got away with it by the skin of his teeth.
