I don't know. I need to dismantle this, so ideally quite a few of them of varying sizes from 1 inch up. ![]() Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated ![]() |

What country of origin and age is the engine? |

It's a Bristol Hercules from the late 1940's Martin. I do have a manual and could plough through it to find all the various sizes but I thought I'd just get a socket set! |

OK, in that case the bolts may be Whitworth (BSW) rather than imperial AF. Not totally au fait with aero engines though |

Hmm, I had no idea there are so many different kinds. I thought there was just metric and imperial.

I'd invest in a dremel and get them off that way |
