Hi guys,

Anyone got one of these puppies lying around. I'm after the genuine tube socket that came with the cars in the factory tool kit bag thingy

This is what it looks like.


I'm keen to get a genuine tube socket rather than grinding down a socket, as I expect I'll be removing the plugs regularly once I start playing with the tuning.

Cheers.

just buy thin stylye socket peice
no need for original one and use adapters to make it fit for length

Nope, don't want to f**k around with sockets that'll come off the socket bar cause they're too tight on the spark plug then I have to try and dig them outa that long dark hole

Don't want to be stuffing around with sh*t like this at the track. Sometimes it's better to have the right tool rather than a mock up

try snapon tools, expensive but they have everything.

Yeah I'll probably do a ring around tomorrow, if not I'll just order one from camskill.

I need to have one before Wakefield Park in 2 weeks.

I could lend you my one for the weekend.
I will also drop into the tool shops tomorrow after work as I think I seen some down there. I will let you know how I go.

Yeah that'd be cool, thanks aza, gives me a bit more time to find a genuine one. I don't think the Camskill one is genuine, going to email them to confirm.

PS: Check the motorsport thread in a few minutes

Still looking for one of these too. Aza will want his back one day lol!

hey mate did u find out where to get for the GPX spark plug removal tool? i'm having same problem at the moment.. couldn't find one that fit..

well im not sure if the gpx is any diff ( uses the same plugs are the gr ) so im guessing not
i just use a normal socket set long socket with the extention bar

go to supercheap if you dont have one im sure you could buy them

A normal socket won't fit a GPX as it has indents in the plug tube.

I got mine from dstocks.
But yeah Camskill has em
