Wheelbrace adapter

brian47 · Sep 3, 2014

I have in my standard garage kit an ordinary 4 socket wheelbrace; the type that's welded in the middle to forms a cross. The largest socket on it is 23mm. The Disco 2 wheelnuts are 27mm as we all should know.
Does anybody know where I can get hold of an adapter for this wheelbrace with a 27mm socket on one end and a 23mm bolt head on the other end.
I did see a tyre fitter with one a while back but wasn't in a position to ask where he got his.
Thanks all.

I think that I've got one that you could have, for the cost of postage. I'll check tomorrow.

Im not a big fan of adapters ,they are easy lost leaving you up s**t creak

any how for the same price you will pay for one you could buy the wheel brace in the link above or another X brace like yours with a 27mm on it

I carry a socket set and a torque wrench. If the nut is really tight you can't apply decent leverage with those flimsy things - and the X-brace type take up far too much room.
