In an article in the Summer 1997 issue of the Ragtop (the magazine of the
Toronto Triumph Club),
Don Elliott wrote that he had found a 1/4" drive 12 point deep socket for
9/16" hexagon nuts will do the job.
Apparently these can be hard to find. BTW, 12 points gives the socket a thin
wall (.755" OD for the 12 point versus .808" OD for a 6 point, in Don's
example).
He found a suitable 1/4" drive socket at Sears as Craftsman part # 43599 for
$2.99 US$

Subject: TR3A Rear Shock Absorber
I guess I should have been taking notes, but a few months ago it was
mentioned that there is a thin-walled Sears (I think) socket wrench
which will reach the nuts which attach the TR3A rear shock absorbers
to their mounting brackets. Could someone remind me?
Thank you in advance,
Dave
