Do they exist or does anyone know where I can get a pair? Im looking to adjust the headstock bearings on my 51 VB600. They appear to be about 32mm
(1 1/4 inch?) as far as i can tell with a vernier but access is a bit restricted.
I suppose one alternative would be to get a pair of open enders and grind the jaws thinner.
Tried Daraganfly but they have nothing. Thanks.

Thanks! I never even thought about looking there. I must be losing the plot

Re: Headstock spanners
Drags list them 6606-27. Are you looking for a different size?

Re: Headstock spanners
Spoke to Drags on the phone this afternoon, Dennis (their website was taking an age to respond) - chap there said they couldnt help or suggest anywhere I may get some I've ordered a pair from Clay at Acme as Ive dealt with him since he started up.

Its just the G1-55 spanner in the factory toolkit from 1927. I see them on ebay all the time often cheaply.

Re: Headstock spanners
Thanks, but no chance I'd be buying them from Oz - postage would be more than Ive paid for a set from acme
