It's tight but does just fit thankfully. Ah quite right, it has a normal ring on tother end, cracking the original bolts involved a tube over the spanner and it held up well Thumbs Up

There is a calculation to work out the required torque setting when using an extended arm...

(torque amount multiplied by length of torque wrench) divided by (length of torque wrench plus length of extension)

All length measurements should be taken from the centre of the pivot point and a pre determined point on the handle, sometimes have a mark or is stated in the leaflet that comes with it (or the middle of the hand grip)

There is many how to's on google with diagrams Thumbs Up


If you put the crow foot at 90° in relation to the torque wrench, you don't need to use the calculation.
I think the calculation will prove this.
