Valve Adjustment tool

[sallyles4645]

I would like to adjust the valves on my 1972 Mercedes 350sl, in my repair manual it show a special tool for this. I have looked around the net but can't find this tool. I think I could make one fairly easy but I am not sure what MM the Adjustment nut is. Anyone happen to know the size?

Thanks
Les

17MM. The shoe on the bottom helps keep it aligned. You can use a crows foot. I did until I bought the tool. Hazet 17mm Crowsfoot Valve Adjusting Wrenches

Thanks Rowdie, I will look for that size wrench.
