[j.m@talk]

Totally frigged off with lying on ya back in the wind ......... Its easy to over do it & as engines are all alloy these days it don't take much to strip a thread :t

[genesound]

You need one that's in the pound range then ;)

[genesound]

Like this one (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/snapon-torque-wrench-40-200-inch-pounds-1-4-drive_W0QQitemZ5665434300QQcategoryZ88433QQssPageN ameZWD2VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem). Just the ticket for the little 6x1.0 into aluminium and such. :t

[j.m@talk]

Woo yeah .......... Not spendin' $100 tho :eek:

Thats the kind O' fing right enough ........ I'll have to go have a shufty around ;)

[werz]

I found for small bolts using a 1/4 drive ratchet and extension, I could get very close to the correct torque, with just a small 'nip' on bolts in a 12oclock, 6oclock,3oclock, 9oclock sequence, you know how much pressure to use, and it is only a little, a limp wrist like porschs would torque it up just about right.

[herosrest]

Hurry back for a torque.

[djclarky]

A mechanic friend of mine once shared some words of wisdom with me:

"Tighten it up til you start to strip the thread, then back half a turn........."

[leprechaun_40]

Murph, just hand tighten them with a 1/4 drive ratchet and socket, then give about a 1/4 turn beyond and they should be fine, otherwise, choke up the bucks for the little torque wrench ya tight @rse ;)

[j.m@talk]

choke up the bucks for the little torque wrench ya tight @rse ;)

I wonder if I can get a 1" to 1/4" reducer so I don't have to buy ne more sockets ;)

[j.m@talk]

I use a angle gauge fingi mostly ........... Well I don't actually own one ........... I paints lines on the boltz wiv liquid paper :t

[werz]

The day ya need a torque wrench on a car hasn't arrived, just nip them up with a 1/4 drive ratchet. If ya wanna spend 30quid, spend it on the ratchet and sockets, good quality, if ya can get a good one that cheap, try hazet.l

[j.m@talk]

The days of toffee tools has well & truely gone here in €uroland, our quality standards have helped a treat.......... Can't speak for the third world tho :t

[werz]

I thought Hazet were German tools. They are definately better quality than your used to.

[genesound]

Yes German Hazet tools are really very good. Very spendy, more here than Snap-on.

I'm not opening a centre for engineering excellence......... Just changing a few spark plugs & the odd oil filter.......... If I can make a few quid at the same time ........ Mores the better :t

[werz]

Make a few quid, where's yer neighbourliness, (is that a real word) ya should be helpin all the even less mechanically minded than yerself, out of the goodness of you heart. if ya got one.
