Hi,
This is doing my head in Shaun :crazy: . Just been up the shed to check my tool box mine go down to 3mm. All the tools i'v got and not one for this!!!!. Believe it or not I was a engineer fitter for 46 yes 46 very looooong years ( on London Buses). Just been in contact with AFV Models they do a socket wrench in 5 sizes. Hope they get back to me soon. Till the wheels are done the Leo2 is stuck. Brian...

Oh My Dear Lord! Those things are like silly tiny! Some of the nuts are barely 1mm across! I'd LOVE to be able to use them but I don't think I could.

Jack I have been using 1mm nuts on threaded 1mm brass studs for a little while but until BLIMP :thumbup: :clap: came up with a Dealer selling a socket spanner I have had to tighten and undo them using my finger tips or a pair of needlenose pliars.
I suspect that Brian and I will not be the only people interested in buying one of these!

Kiaser forgot to ask when you fitted your wheel set how did you fix the inside wheel?. I see there is no nuts for the bolts but then again the bolts are short so!! Do I use super glue?. Brian...
