Ariel 1950s singles clutch centre nut

Post by BarrieSteel »

Have many clutch parts,had a look at clutch centre nuts,one 3/4 W socket size and a used larger nut 7/8 W socket size believe there was a smaller earlier one.?Any ideas would be great.

There may be an idea here https://draganfly.co.uk/product-categor ... 6-58-type/ scroll down to 3068-, which is the centre nut.

Roger, Thank's for the useful info this helps, the larger 7/8 nut i have someone must used at one point none standard.Thought not right,couldn't get box spanner that size anyway easily, so will use the later 1950 on 3/4 size nut, presume the early one is 9/16?

I think the early one is 9/16, I always use those as carrying a huge spanner for the large nut on my travels is not practical. Use a thick washer with it.

    HI, I Just use A BSW deep socket thats fits for the clutch nut , but i think a standard BSW 1/2" drive socket may do it well
