For a bit of fun:

A couple of XI-related sockets. What size are they and where are they used?

A better view? Hopefully, you can't read the text on the side of the right-hand one!

I've just spent the day installing new rear half shafts and new front hubs. I shall therefore exclude myself from this quiz........... ;)

1 5/16" socket: Original crank shaft damper bolt. I only need this one once for each engine, as I replace the big hex bolt with the compact ARP flanged bolt.

1 7/8" socket: Rear axle hub nut.

Stuff I only use on Spridgets, and the Westfield.

Oh yes, that's the 1 5/16 in your hand.

You win the prize*, Jan!

The rear hub socket is, well, bloody massive!















*Bugger All, sadly.
