Alternative for a 18mm crows foot wrench. I don't know what you guys use to torque the front LCA nut but in the past we've used a 18mm crows foot wrench, I've always thought a boxed end type of crows foot wrench would work better but I've never been able to find one. Being I have some free time I thought I'd make one, it's not a very good picture but you'll get the idea.

Re: Alternative for a 18mm crows foot wrench. Great idea Al. When do you plan on using it, or have you already? Also, if you want some help working on the Hot Rod just give me a shout.

Re: Alternative for a 18mm crows foot wrench. Hey Ted, already used it, I've already installed the bolt-on SFC, LCA and adjustable panhard bar. Didn't want to bother you and have you drive all the way out here for these easy installs, tomorrow the UPS mans suppose to deliver the front and rear sway bars with end links. I think I'll do two more mods before the end of the summer, STB and probably rear Bilstein shocks. Later

Re: Alternative for a 18mm crows foot wrench. Hi Joe, As the mods have been coming in I've been installing them, I know you guys like to wrench on these cars but I hated the idea of calling you guys each time...I know I should have waited until I got all the mods together but damn I want to join the mod club too.
The boxed end wrench idea came from working with you and Ted, I was going to polish it like the bearing remover but I went with the Euro look instead. Later

Re: Alternative for a 18mm crows foot wrench. Al, what's really great to hear is the "MOD BUG" is running thru your veins, again! 
I've got some questions for you, so, I'll give you a call later.

Re: Alternative for a 18mm crows foot wrench. Hey Ted, I stoped buy Al's place after I got out of work and guess who wasn't playing far again, Al was putting on some BMR sway bar's. He already had the back one on but I helped him put the front on so I grounded him from doing any more mod's until he learns how to play far and give us a call. :p Next mod will be to install my line lock as soon as we all can get together.

Re: Alternative for a 18mm crows foot wrench. Ted, It sure is fun doing these mods, give me a call when you can.
Joe, Thanks for giving me a hand with the huge front sway bar, the rear wasn't bad at all with just me but it doesn't hurt to have help with the front bar.
I swear I won't do anymore mods without contacting you guys first, I've been only wanting to do suspension mods for now but I think that y-pipe has to go. This could be the next set of mods, SLP y-pipe, drive shaft loop and BMR STB.
