Steering stem adjuster nuts

Post by EricBorg »

Noticed I have some slack in the steering stem bearings so was going to first try tightening the adjuster nuts and was hoping someone could tell me what size spanner(s) I need, going to try make two but need the exact size please. Thanks

Thanks for your reply,
I’ll keep looking out for one as can’t seem to find any for sale on eBay.
Thanks again

Drags sell them, and possibly single spares.

1 and 5/16th of an inch across the flats. The ones I have are 0.185 inch in section the nuts themselves are 0.235 thick so spanners need to be thinner than that.
