Jock New Member United Kingdom 13 Posts	Posted 03/07/2017 7:28 pm It is not unusual for engineers to use a coin or two to pack out a spanner on a nut where the spanner is a little too large. I've used the trick myself. Couldnt obviously say thats where the marks are from. Just a snippet of info Report this Post to the Staff
