You can use a C spanner from any decent tool company. Mines an adjustable
"Britool" spanner, works fine.

Can you get aftermarket Exhaust clamps in USA? If so I recommend the sort
that have a lockring that tightens against the cylinder head. Never seen one
of them come loose.

Subject: Exhaust Nut on Eldo


 Any ideas on a good tool to use to remove the nuts on the Eldo exhaust
header pipes? I know you can get one from many Guzzi sources, but
wondered
 if there would be something I may already have that could be used
successfully. I have heard that the original tool needed to be used with
caution, as it would slip. Also, is the safety wire idea good enough, or
is there something else that should be done to prevent the backing out?

Thanks,
Tim
