Yes... I know normal sockets won't fit. But it's simply years since I've had to buy one that does............. And a friend is in urgent need...............

Anyone have link to one that is known to work? Either box spanner or proper plug socket or anything in between?????
 
If your friend is in that much of a jam why can't he just go buy one and grind the outside down until it fits ?
 
Hi Chris,

A few people have identified successful sockets in my previous post below.

I ended up getting one of the guys from work to trim one down on his metal lathe as my ham fisted attempt using an angle grinder was just awful.

The larger of the two 'normal' plug sockets in my cheap 'Halfrauds' socket set fits, and it has a rubber ring in it that stops the spark plug falling out of the socket too. Mind you, I bought the set twenty years ago, so that information might not be much use. I imagine the smaller one is for motorcycles or lawnmowers or something? Hope your friend gets lucky.
What happened to 'Lucky'? Haven't seen you round these parts for some time.
