Are you after a set or single sizes? Plug or ring?

From my days as calibration technician they normally retail for a round £10 each but can last many years. I had some that were used every hour getting on for 20 years old.

Alex - are you starting to now request info for my tool supply too?

I was actually going to post up exactly the same thread myself later today...

going on from the OT, does anyone know of any gauges that are thinner in width (compared to the machine mart ones). would want them to measure the threads on the engine for the cradle and think the machine mart ones are too wide to fit inside the holes.
