as above a bit like the one below but in old money measurements.



Anyone got one they don’t want?

Can’t seem to find an old one in the usual places.

Brings back memories. Bikes used to have hex nuts everywhere. Brakes, saddles, stem , wheels etc. Now nowhere to be seen , except on my fixie.

Think I might have one. I'll look in the morning.

Hi @CarlP, I've just checked and mine is metric. Sorry for getting your hopes up.

Thanks for looking, I appreciate it.

I will look in morning. I inherited one from granddad and he died 1978 so if I can find it , it should be imperial

Carl, I bought one about 2 months ago from John's Cycles in Barnet for about £3.50. Great shop BTW.

Edit. Oops bad me, just checked my one and its metric.

I have one which I've had since the 1960s... but I used it today, proving I should hang on to it! Best of luck in finding one though

Mine has U.C.P. on the edge of one of the ribs and 'ENGLAND' on the opposite side one.

I have one too, which is in the tool bag of my Kingpin, I want one for the bag that I will have for my BSA.

 

[Kempstonian]

Yeah, I was just thinking that little spanner must have travelled thousands of miles with me. I kept it in my saddlebag, or in a musette, wherever I went. Then it went in my toolbox, where it stayed for many years. Very useful little tool though...

btw I used to whilst dismantling the Townsend bike to cannibalise some of the parts.

Does it have to be a Universal one? There's ones on Ebay for £3.40 including postage.
