If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
Hub nut socket size was created by facade
Has anyone got a hub nut socket that they could measure for me please?
I need the size across the outside of the pins, the inside of the pins, and the pin diameter so I can work out the hole centres
The overall diameter and the internal diameter, (I can measure this from the car but I need to strip the hub off first.)
so I can have a go at making one.
It is worth a shot, at least Martin has 8 in stock if it doesn't work.

Done it myself
The 4 pegs are 6.5mm with centres on a 50.4mm diameter circle
I used 6mm silversteel as I thought there wasn't much chance of getting the 6.5s to go in bear in mind I just centre popped and drilled them.
The centre hole to clear the driveshaft is 27mm 40mm deep from the front face
The OD of the ring is 56mm must be 15 deep from front face.
The ID is 42mm bored 8mm deep
Did the trick nicely.
(Excuse the machining marks, it wasn't exactly free-cutting steel I used)
