Morso bolt sizes

Post by newie31 »

I'm going to collect a Morso tomorrow, not sure if the spanner is available and I need to remove the r/h arm for transport, can some have a quick look at their morso and let me know the size of the head so I can take the right ring spanner with me? Cheers,Mark

If it's going in a car, put the heavy end (top) nearest to where you'll get it out of the car.

Also, it's a great help to have a sheet of 18mm MDF or similar already in the back of the car to lay it on, as it'll slide in and out more easily on it. If you take offcuts of something like 3x2, you can screw these onto the sheet and tight against the Morso, so stop it sliding around.

Good luck :)
