Title: ARP 3/8 socket-connecting rods
Post by: airstuff on January 06, 2009, 16:09:23 pm
Hey guys,

does anyone have a pic of how the socket for fastening the ARP bolts looks like?It's not Alen or Torx,wright?

I can't seem to find any in hardware shop here in Croatia.Maybe in the pro sets which are too expensive,and I only need one socket.

Thanks

I thought it was a 12 point 3/8s socket.

All you need is a 12 point socket for normal hexagon head bolts. 3/8" socket fits CB race rods bolts.

Just to be clear on this.
A 5/16" bolt takes a 3/8" socket
A 3/8" bolt takes a 7/16" socket.
