Title: Meyle HD Droplinks - Hex size?
Post by: tunnie on 24 August 2013, 16:20:00
Got another set of these, this time for 2.2 - Cheaper than Lemforder as well! £15 a pop.

Now I've lost my allen key's - I can't remember which size Meyle Droplinks were? - Found and read review but no mention of the size:

Looking at getting these as replacement:

Feel above, will be better for access and general use rather than these sets:

I can't help with the hex size but I fitted a pair of these yesterday and they had 16mm flats at the base of the threads.  So it may be worth waiting until you get them.

Pair of what? Sorry can't see a link?

Happy with Meyle on the 3.2, so went same here, good price too.

Turns out though that if you do a stock check on Halfrauds for a store, it just means they can order it in, not that they have it on the shelf!

Anywho got these as replacements,

Trade card got me a nice discount  :y

If I'd known you were ordering from AGP, I'd slap on some wishy bones  :'(

Actually when you do order them, let me know, as I really must order a pair of track rod ends  :)

Ahhh sorry miss-understood  :y

When I last fitted them they had only hex to tighten them up.

Anywho needed them anyway  :)
