yes, 14mm and if you can afford the extreme offset wrenches then the job will be a lot easier. its not impossible without them, but thin offset ones would have made it easier for me.

If you will use my screen name in the advanced search and the words' bent wrench' .... it will bring up several threads concerning making your own offset wrenches...

heck yeah, if you have the capability to make your own offset wrenches, do it. save some money for sure. just be sure to grind one of them down pretty thin. the locking nut is rather thin.

didnt know you worked in a machine shop. one wrench needs to be nearly half as thick as a regular wrench. just grind it down almost in half.

Sash, buddy! If you get your bends and grinding correct, and can use them as a template, I'm sure there are folks that wouldn't mind buying some from you if you have the means to make them up. I know folks make them with the offset face angled different directions between the two. Some of us just don't have the proper heating methods available to get them bent correctly. Oh, and we don't really want to pay $65 bucks either..... At least show us your finished product when you get them done.
