yup.

15 is a common size for mirrors, 11 I've had on 2 chain driven bikes
for adjuster locknuts, 16 was a brake caliper bolt on an old Yamaha!

I like Aldi. I think competition is good. Aldi generally have
reasonably good quality stuff at a fair price. It's true that Safeway
and Coles supermarkets in the same catchment areas have lower prices,
and I believe that major supermarket chains engage in anti-competitive
practices. My wife loves Aldi more than me, but I cannot give a good
write up on their motorcycle boots. My wife got me a pair, I thought
they'd be good to wear in the wet. They were new at the start of
summer. I've only worn them about 50 times and they both leak along a
stitched seam that runs all the way across the front. I can tell
because I felt the cold water getting in while I was riding and my
socks were wet 2" each side of the seam line when I stopped. Should I
throw them away?

 

Thing is Zee Bunnings is a few minutes walk away and much as I hate that

imported rubbish


spending on impulse is so much fun .

Stop standing in your kids paddling pool to check if they are waterproof

 

Heh heh..

 

My rear packs a 46mm socket (that's a 3/4inch drive). Misplaced one
(how can you misplace one of those big muthas??!!) so I ended up now
with two. They can moonlight as boat anchors.

 

9mm on bicycle derailleurs, 15mm on bicycle wheel nuts.

11mm will work for SAE 7/16" (most bolts on Briggs & Stratton motors) when
you don't have a 7/16" handy.

16mm and 18mm, nope. Never used them.

If they're size 9, feel free to throw them in my direction!

There is a mounting nut somewhere in the engine bay of a Cessna 172 that
is 18mm, I suspect they chose it so that it would reduce the chances of
your average Jo playing with it...


G-S

 

That's cheating!
(As I'm sure you know 9/16 and 11/16 are also fairly interchangeable
with 14 & 17mm and 3/4 will swap with 19mm in a pinch too)

 

I've actually used a 16 (for the first time ever) trying to undo the
alternator-bracket on a "Holden" (Vauxhall) Astra.
It turned-out that the pulley-tension was spring-loaded (and thus I
didn't need to undo the bracket) so I've still never actually completed
a 16mm undoing!

 

Why; have you got 7/16th feet?

 

No, but I do have motorcycle boots that were worn out 5 years ago.


BTH

 

If you buy metric 10mm bolts from Bunnings they have a 16mm nut.

You need to get out more. Next time you go out wear your boots.

Theo

 

That's just the sort of thing I'd expect from you, Mr underpants thief!


BTH

 

There's absolutely no (remaining) evidence of your underpants in my
house.
