Tappet covers

(1/5) > >>

peterengland:
A seemingly magic Honda size of 16mm (which is not in my socket set) can you buy a hexagonal 16mm spanner?  Also anyone know why they are made of cheese?

deltarider:
What bike? Usually it's 17mm. 16mm is found nowhere.

peterengland:
550 1976, got a couple of new ones last year...16mm. as you say, 16 is found nowhere

deltarider:
The tappet covers on mine are identical and are 17mm...

robvangulik:
I once got a Hazet sparkplug socket for free when I bought a set of Champion plugs, also 16mm (5/8").
But I think a normal hexagonal 16mm socket would be normally available?
Oh, and I've never known those caps other than 17mm.
