22mm Socket for FTP900

[Pfcprc]

Has anyone got a 22mm socket I can borrow to replace the seal on the gauge of my FTP900 it is leaking. And I need the a very thin walled socket to get it off.

Or does anybody know where I can purchase one?

Thanks

I turned down a socket to fit mine, but unfortunately it split when I reinstalled the gauge.

Would a box spanner do the trick ?

You have to modify a 22mm socket even AA do this.

Iv got one if you're anywhere near west wales? , it was a regular socket I had machined down for the aa fillport gauges, but be prepared sockets are hardened so not the nicest to reduce down

 

[Pfcprc]

Unfortunately I don’t have a lathe. The socket needs to be 26.75mm wide at the most, which makes a very thin walled socket.

I have a dedicated socket that gets used on p 35s you can borrow that if you like !. Let me just check where it is and I will get back to you .

 

[billy.whizz]

Right the socket outer dia is 26.75. the inner is 25-26 mm, it's a socket that came with the P35 to remove the guage

Would be great if it worked. The FTP is supposed to be 22mm and I noticed the P35 says 24mm?

[Pfcprc]

Just found this, looks like its 0.25mm too wide but going to try one. I'll let you know if it works.

 

[billy.whizz]

Ok I hope it works out. Your pic looks just like the p35 guage and shroud

They are engineers
Why not ask them to reduce it in diameter

Anneal and Re harden ?
Sometimes a tipped tool will do it

Or a black ( impact ) socket
Are usually softer than the chromed ones . It was explained to me so they don’t shatter

Do these gauges have to be for up super dooper tight?

They're generally really hard and brittle, I ended up sending one to Mark Turver to machine for me, they can be tight to undo first but no dont need to be cranked back up hard just snugged

 

[Pfcprc]

No don't need to be tight at all on the FTP as long as they have a nice new seal on them. My one is on tight so I will need a socket. I have heard of people spinning them off by hand once the pressure is off.
