Hello Bob,

I was trying to buy some of the hex nut drivers that you describe locally and did not manage to. The closest I came was a set which only went up to 6 mm.

I can buy sets online like this one in the photo. However I do not know how thick the walls are. I could be waiting for them to arrive in the post only to find that the walls are too thick.

Well, one eBay order for the set of nut drivers at $26 Aus including postage has just been placed. I have to take the gamble that they fit I suppose. A set would come in handy anyway even if it does not fit the alternator.

Kind regards
Lionel
