for inquiring minds...

27mm = 1 1/16th\"

and either size socket will fit the 2 large bolts that hold the transmission carrier to the ends of the frame horns.

not sure if hans missed a digit when he posted, but i was picking up what he was putting down. i just wanted to share the info with anyone that wants to know.

cheers. B)
