That looks to me like a Mongolian Society of Engineers 7/43" cubit spanner on the end of an arm 3/16" in diameter, 7 feet long with 3 sets of universal joints in it.

It is - and well spotted, that man. I meant the adjustable though - available from your nearest tractor spares shop, and bought specifically to stop the engine turning when working on the clutch with the engine out of the car.

I'd imagine if you got a couple of blokes to help you could turn the whole damn car over with that!
Hey could save a fortune in roll cages

Hi Cam

3/4" Whitworth sockets are still available from my local tool supplier to order in a couple of days and they have 2 choices
1/2" drive 26mm deep and 3/4"drive 29mm deep (I love the mix in sizes) these are both made by Britool and cost
£14:65 and £21:80 each, hope this helps.

Hi Kevin
Cam wanted it for the starting handle dog & for this it needs to be about 50mm deep.
