Hi All 
I am in the middle of doing my annual and decided to  torque the spark
plugs as recommended in the manual. Problem is I cant  get hold of an
18mm plug socket to go on my torque wrench (3/8 drive)  that will fit
into the small space available in the Rotax cylinder  head. Before I
start destroying a socket, has anyone found a source  from where I can
order one?
Many Thanks

Alan 

I am inviting caustic response here I know, but it really is not  necessary 
to torque a plug.  I have been flying various aircraft and  changing plugs for

many years and the rule -as with cars - is to do them  up very little more 
than finger tight and let the copper washer do its  job. Never had a blow yet
