Would this be a useful socket set to work on the BX with?

Post by Daniel B »

Hello chaps,

this is a rather good offer at the mo, but wondered how useful it would be for working on the BX?

It has a 3" extension bar, would that be enough to get down to the spark plugs or do I need a 5"?

Or how about these?

5" extension makes the plugs alot easier.

I've found an 11mm ratchet spanner is a must for owning a BX if you ever get underneath it too.
