do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
I'll have a look see what I have after tea - why 12 sided?
sadly not ... got a 70mm cranked slogging ring and a 70mm open ender
get your self a 100mm disc profiled with the 12 point in the centre and a couple of 100mm discs with a 1" square in the centre then weld them onto a piece of 101 CHS 'bout 4" long .. instant socket

You certain its 72mm.... a quick look brings up alot of other sizes close
Apparently the boys in the garage have checked a few times and say it's definitely 72mm. 70 and 75 are a lot easier to get

Google comes up with nothing that size. Can you get a new nut and get a spanner or caliper on it? Before buying a potentially expensive paperweight

All the 2nd hand ivecos I've bought have had the hammer and chisle technique applied.

I did however buy one that fits but its not something I've easily to hand at the moment....long story.
It wasn't mega money to buy either, I know that much because otherwise I'd of not bought it. Probably an ebay special.
