Yes, mine are just a plain disc like the photo. I wondered what they were for. But maybe once upon a time it had tabs on it to hold the bolt heads.

I could be wrong here, but the hub bolts are now nyloc - item 24 the bolt patchlock. maybe the locking plate is no longer required, and has been replaced with something to make up the thickness of the original?

That would seem to make sense!
 
Anyone know what sized square the oil fill plug is [2] and i've not seen a set of female square drives........
 
Hey Cowasaki,

For the Swivel kit, did you buy it as a kit or as individual parts?

Alos for the previous, just checked , mine are std 1/2" socket drives. ( forget this, just realised you are talking about the SWIVEL filler plug, LOL)

Cheers

1/2 or 3/8 std drive size I believe.

I used to have a torque wrench that had a 1/2" hole and came with a 1/2" bar and a 1/2" to 3/8" bar but not seen any sockets unless I've just been looking in the wrong place.

It's a britpart G kit which includes all OEM spec parts such as Corteco seals and Timlen bearings. britpart are a parts distributor so sell cheap parts and full spec OEM parts just check for G after the part number for best bits

I know the feeling, we are looking for a new (old) house. I've got my milling machine and lathe disassembled as they are going to be a right pain to move and most of my 'specialist' tools are in storage with only standard spanners / sockets etc in the garage, I feel like I'm working with one arm tied behind my back when I do any jobs! :mad::mad::mad:
