I had a sort out during covid, and donated my very old collection of 12 point sockets to my neighbour, and got a good set of 6 point sockets instead - much better.

 

I also found a male M14 and a male T60. Both very similar o/ds - I think I must have bought one for a particular job, and found it was the wrong sort of bit and  bought another. No idea now which was used, as both look brand new. Has anyone got any idea what they might have been used for - my mind has gone blank 😩

 

My Suzuki is totally metric and majors in flanged nuts and bolts - 85

My MG is also metric with no really big fastenings - 02

My Skoda is the most likely of course - but what for? I'll keep them just in case - help!

 

Did you ever remove the rear seat brackets?

Front shock pinch bolt is M14 XZN on some models.

Rear brake carrier bolts also maybe.

Not sure I've seen T60 torx anywhere though.

Ah, you may have reminded me. During the first covid lockdowns my Skoda dealer was shut - lights off, no phone, no email and I had to replace the N/S front wishbone. The rear rubber bush had gone so that was replaced together with both drop links. I had to struggle a bit with something, but easy enough in a workshop, but I was out in the road! The local tyre place was open, so it had a full four wheel alignment carried out.

The O/S has started to squeak now, the dealer can do that at it's next service.

 

Thanks, not sure what the M14 was used for, but probably something to do with replacing the wishbone, although it is an easy enough job with only three pivot points to deal with.

I'll give it a polish and keep in my "odd" socket store.
