Big adjustables, dont forget the filter as well, again adjustables.

32mm and don't bother with adjustables. They're only suitable for stuff around the house to prevent scratching chrome plated fittings.

Theres adjustables and then theres adjustables, quality ones wont cause any damage at all.

Got myself an adjustable King Dick last weekend, oo err. Actually a bloody solid bit of spanner and not bad for £1 at the local charity sale.

Some thing in there has chewed up,[circlip?] clean out filter and see whats in there but if still working reasonably well then refill and check again in a few months.

Click to expand...

it is 6, it stops the possibility of over selecting 4 gear (excessive travel of synchro hub) on early boxes later have a disc on the gear aswell
