crunchiespg · 03-26-2010, 10:32 AM

any recommendations on where to buy a E torx socket set in calgary area?
looking for the basic sizes for my r1200GSA..

Napa can get one set, but its pretty expensive and is only T6 up to T20..

also, whats a good quality but reasonably priced torque wrench?
thanks

Princess Auto ... you could build the Space Shuttle there and the parts and tools aren't the crap they used to be (nor are they "top" quality, but hey, you get what you pay for).

Which is a Canadian Tire company.

You'll find the sockets in the auto section, near where they put those 'Help' products of fasteners and stuff usually

Princess Auto has them too, if you have one close.

i dont see E-Torx in that list. i believe that's what the OP wants (newer GSA's have e-torx bolts on the skidplate, my '06 doesn't)

i got my set at PartSource, looks like there are two locations in CGY.

I'm not sure if you have an Automotive Warehouse out there, but I saw a set today, at the AW here in St. Catharines.

I would check Princess Auto first, Canadian Tire has a set up to 40 but it is pricy.

Which can tire? Can't find any on their website or in my local stores.

I have the Princess Auto set and the are better than usually PA quality. The 10 or 12 pce set was about $15. I would buy it again.

Drif10 · 03-26-2010, 05:04 PM
