So I have seen this on other forums for other vehicles, but never for a defender. Maybe it already exists?
The big ones few people have until they own a defender are like the T55 Torx, the posidriv, especially the PZ4 for the door hinge bolts, the 27mm (or 1 1/16 and go up a size if you have the chrome lug nuts that swell), the 36mm for the fan clutch (I can’t remember if the 93-95 are 36mm or 32mm for the fan clutch). Also things like the 17mm 12 point for the swivel ball bolts (and other places where you need a 12 point which are now escaping my memory).
If someone wanted to put together a set of screwdrivers, wrenches and sockets for all fastener sizes so they knew they had them, or more specifically to my circumstance, wanted a set to take on trips, what all would they need to bring, and what would they never use?
If someone is really ambitious, we could also compile the actual size of the bolts and screws, not just the head sizes. I know @JimC did something like that at one point as he told me what to order from McMaster Carr, but I can’t find it.
