Hello everyone

Been meaning to get one of these

Linky

for a while, so before I go and buy one is there anyone here that has one they no longer want going at a reasonble price?
Thanks, Dave.

I made my own years ago when was building my car, I have a pic of it here. It worked really well as i needed it for a tight space. And it cost nothing. Hope this is of some use to you.

How will I know how tight to go?

Have a few practice goes before using it on your car.

Well I have ordered some inserts and will have a bit of a play before I try any in the car just in case!

A nut, bolt and washer works fine. Do a couple of practise ones on some scrap first to get the hang of how much to tighten the nut. Very locost and fits in small spaces too! :-)
