Well thanks for all your help everybody. In the end , I managed to get a 3/8" socket and extension, and then ground the extension slightly so that it fitted. Not the prettiest job in the world, but it works! An engine to TDi for!

It was for a control cabinet on a Road Tanker. Some prat of a designer installed a manual winch type thing, (where a bolt is turned and the cable released etc), and they put it so that you can only get to it via a very narrow gap, hence the reason for a narrow bar Thumbs Up An engine to TDi for!

I think moist people have had to work with some else's design.
Designer equals someone who does not have to do the job or repairs. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

Hi I bought from tool station a couple of weeks ago the same thing
You can not get it in one unit so they do a set of two 1/2 to 3/8 and a3/8 to 1/4
It's not the best make in the world but at the price they charge who cares
It's made by LASER it costs £3.04 for both items number 15332

^^Thanks for that! If my current solution doesn't work out, I may have to get those, and for £3.04 I can't really complain! Thumbs Up An engine to TDi for!
