    19mm Soft Socket 3/4" drive

    Hi all. Can anyone point me in the right directions for the above. I would like to buy locally (Aust). Most of the outlets, I've called know of the 19mm soft socket but don't carry them. They're ideal for tightening up your early 911 Fuchs aluminium wheel nuts that you have just repainted and don't want to damage them with a regular 19mm socket. Many thanks.

    Know the problem well, but not heard of what you are looking for.

    I bought a new set of nuts 2 years ago ($25.00ea) and put our local newspaper plastic bag over the nut to protect.
    My mechanic is instructed to do the same.

    When it comes to a tyre change I take the wheels in 2 at a time so no rattle guns used.

    Having said all of that the flats are perfect but the occasional mark on the corners (turrets?) as they are quite "sharp"

    imho

      I bought one of the aluminum ones from pelican and would not recommend it . It still damages anodising. Get a nylon one or use masking tape.

          Problem is Andrew nuts are not meant to be painted, originals are black anodised and more resiliant than a painted version. I have only ever found overseas vendors for these.
