By what you are saying I'm guessing the wire passes through the thread and stops you from using a socket (are they SVC lights?)
If that is the case I have the same setup and no way can you use a spanner. 
But I might have a solution if the above is the problem..
I've bought a long reach socket which I intend to cut the bottom 1/2" drive off. Then I'm going to cut a slot all the way down the socket to allow the wires to pass through. On the bottom of the socket I'm going to weld on a large nut also with a slot in.
This way I can tighten the nut (with the wires hanging out the bottom of the socket) with a spanner on the tacked on nut.
You just need to leave enough spare cable to pass through the socket.
That's what I plan to do on my lights (not tried it yet though but have bought the socket) 
Sorry but did that make any sense.... |
why not keep it even easier ......long socket and just grind away half the socket in the middle nearly up to each of the ends then just use a normal ratchet and thread the wires through the socket....sorry for that little hijack
you are not half plodding away there Simon keep it up mate.
