    help with locally, finding 12 Point Socket's - 8mm & 12mm

    Fellas

    I ordered two 12 point sockets, in 8mm & 12mm as part of taking apart my LM's, but have hit bad luck with an eBay seller. Ordered them 6 weeks ago, and nowhere to be seen.

    Anyone know where to buy these locally? I tried Autovalue, Canadian Tire, etc; to no avail. I'd like to be working on my wheels this weekend, as I now have the caps, & bolts from BFI.

    Thanks much

    I think I have both as I took apart my LM's. You can borrow them if you want!

          I wouldn't recommend for regular use, but for a single project you should be fine.

              Pat, Derek & Nismo - thanks for the offer. Derek, as I know both where you live & work, I could visit either.

              Mike & Ben thanks for the suggestions.

              I suppose I can share what I'll be doing; Powdercoating the faces white, swapping the old silver hardware with new gold hardware, polishing the lips and bought new red BBS centre caps.

              Aiming for them to look like:

                Wonderful. I have some time off this up coming summer, really wanting to do something crazy to my set, full polish? I dunno.

                Can't wait to see the result, love the gold bolts.

                    No luck at Sears? There are also a couple other tool suppliers in town that should have them.
