Bilstein adjustable platform spanner

[CAB]

Hello

Can anyone tell me if the C spanners sold by Demon Tweeks are the correct type for Bilstein adjustable dampers fitted to my Superlight? The platforms have round holes for the C spanner to fit into but the C spanners that I have seen have flat rectangular ends. Is this correct or do I need a C spanner with a different end?

Thanks.

Thanks gents.

 

I think I will give Caterham a ring to see how much the spanners cost, when I find out I might just take up your offer Rob....

I bought 2 Draper 'C' spanners for my adjustable Bilsteins but found them too long and awkward to use effectively with the dampers in place. Just use two drills of the right diameter as 'Markiebabes' suggests, it is much easier.

I use a couple of steel punches from a mixed size set I bought many years ago - very convenient in that they have fatter "handle" sections making secure locking easier.
