GUY CROFT/ Air filter housing

Post by MIGHTY 8 »

Good day,
Is anyone running the GCRE in-house designed air filter housing?
I cannot for the life of me, access the nuts holding the velocity stacks due to the small space. Can anyone recommend where to purchase tiny sized tools for jobs like this?

Searched Amazon, called local parts stores, and even had a friend grind down a small 10mm wrench, but to no avail…

Thank you in advance,
Nut124

Next to removing this nut, posting pictures on this website is also my demise! :D

I could send you to your email … but I was recommended to get "crow’s feet" adapters. Hopefully this will work

Thanks for the reply,

I'd use nylon lock nuts. Don't want those nuts coming loose and end up in the cylinder.

Had some good advice and ordered some "crow’s feet" attachments. Work great! Thanks to everyone for their input!
