Tim T Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I think that it is 1 1/16inch but wait for that to be confirmed by somebody else. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RAHTR4 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hi Nige, The steering wheel fixing nut is the same for the TR4 through to the TR6. Measures 1.1/16" over the flats and 1.7/32 over the corners. The socket that you require is a 1.1/16" AF Regards, Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I tend to use a 28mm socket but that may be a tad loose Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim hunt Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Yes Roger, 27mm likely better. 1.0625" = 26.99mm, or are metric sockets not Across Flats? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Yes I think I ended up using that as I couldn't find an imperial one large enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
