I am thinking about commissioning a complete set of AN wrenches for racers.
What I want to know from you guys that already have AN wrenches, is what size fittings aren't supported by your set. Like a normal size 10, i.e., one inch, doesn't work with Earls 1 1/6" fitting. If I am going to have them built then i want to make sure all sizes are supported. All advice welcome. |

Actually you don't need special wrenches for them if you don't mind scratching the aluminum fittings. Or if you use a crescent wrench that has duct tape on the business end. Or if you use those heavy steel fittings you can get made up, so regular wrenches are OK. I've always used the aluminum fittings trying to save weight on the race car. The problem with the duct tape is that it's hard to get a good grip on the fitting so you can tighten them properly. FYI the "complete" sets from Summit or others, aren't really complete as different manufactures make different sized AN fittings. Just trying to figure out how many more AN sizes people would want. |
