Thanks cdc... it’s a 35 mm well ford told me I have another question for you if I want to change the back breaks to disks like the front is that a difficult job...and would it make a difference to the mot?

why not measure it across flats with a metric rule!

sorry meant 1``5/16

sorry to confuse you but I use a 1``3/16 socket which I think is roughly a 35mm
