Where can I find a socket for the splined rod bolts? I tore apart an sp125c to rebuild for the gtg this weekend and now I'm SOL. :msp_scared:
Thanks for the info. Visited a few of my favorite shops today expecting to borrow one, but they didn't even have it. I'd be surprised if sears had it, but who knows. I read on here that snap-on had them as well, but probably just rumor. JJ, if you would bring it to the gtg it would be much appreciated. I only need to borrow it for about 45 minutes:msp_biggrin:. I'll bring my hot plate and borrow Bobs freezer. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Sears sell sockets that look like this. Might want to try them out.View attachment 298558
JJ, was there anything you wanted to import to the GTG?

2 hours is a long drive for something that may not work. But hey you can never have too many tools. They are sold in both metric and standard. Just a suggestion hope it works. Alex
Well I finally have the conclusion to the story. I tried the sears sockets, tried packing tin foil in a 1/4" 6 point socket to make it grab better, searched far and wide for someone to get me an external torx socket in size 9, but no luck. But Vintage_Vixsin on eBay has both the socket and the L wrench. They aren't listed, but she says its ok to contact her thru eBay and she'll sell them per request. She just had a baby, so be patient. I'm convinced that it is just a e-9 socket, but they are hard to impossible to get.
I'm not making it to the GTG, too much stuff to do and I'm teaching fire dancing classes all that week. I'd be happy to send this to you though.
