Well, thanks for all your help there, lads.
I do hope that I've not said anything that has upset you ? scratchchin

Many apologies if I have bow

In the end, I had to go to our colonial cousins at GearWrench to fulfill my requirements.

You can find them on Amazon here.

All the Best,

PJ

Sorry Paul. Like you said - very difficult to find. I tried a few searches, but in the absence of anything positive - I stayed silent. Hope you've found what you need.

Nope didn't spot this. I have a set of the Halfords professional, no idea how I've done without them all these years but not as long as you wanted.

I had to let go of one of my favourite spanners. It was quite a wrench.

Hi, Ignore what's written on the spanner picture, but the "SnapOn" Code is BOER28 £55.74 - just check to make sure before ordering one.

Hi Y'All,

Sorry for letting the paranoia get the better of me.

Many thanks for all your replies - Particularly yours Rog thumbup

In the end, I did go to GearWrench and had a wonderful surprise when they had a Dutch distributer, which avoided me having to pay external-EU taxes and delivered within half the promised time thumbup .

To those of you who were interested, it was for the Banjo Bolt on the PAS Pump.
I managed to get if off with a cobbled-up arrangement of 2 spanners linked by a common nut/bolt
BUT
I wanted to re-tighten with something which gave me the correct 'feel'.

Now faced with the nightmare of trying to get the four oil pipes back on the Steering Rack Junction Block yikes

Wish me a lorra lorra luck banghead
