i am chasing a 50mm deep socket to do the hub nuts up properly.. previously i have just hammer and chiselled them, but i have a torque wrench so i may as well do it properly.. cant find a 50mm deep dish socket or anything in aus..
dont feel like ordering only a socket from USA
anyone got one to sell or know where to get one?
cheers lads

repco or bursons should have them
or better yet get onto ebay and buy a cheap(under $100) 3/4 socket set and then you have all the sizes from 19mm to about 60 mm
