GAV Socket

[Mitch]

I purchased 4 of those limited production custom GAV sockets a few years back. I still have 2 extras and would like to offer them here to a couple VFF members. My original plan was to put them on EBAY for double what i paid, but that was before the VFF was even thought of. I have decided to sell these at cost here on the forum which is 24.00 and 7.15 shipping. domestic

I have one and it works great!! I used it on the zenith 3 bottom that I bought from Rowdy . That GAV part came right out no problem . The butterfly was not so easy. Norm

What is the size of this tool ? Picture ?

[DaWizard]

It's somewhere between 7/16 and 11mm, and since I have been working on these Zenith carbs, I have used everything including a 10mm to remove the GAVs.

[Mitch]

It’s specially made to fit both GAV sizes.....

I bought 3 of these. One I kept, the other 2 went to friends that do a lot of carb work. They tell me that the sockets work perfectly.

I wonder if he is still making them?

So is this just a deep well socket with the wall thickness thinned down?

[DaWizard]

Oh no. it is actually 13/32 socket with the deep well.

NO It's a specially crafted tool that will fit both size GAV's ,, It's something that will probably never be reproduced again.

I will have to look at my GAV's. I have a few carbs I am going to start on soon. You can use a long hollow nut driver also?

Well, I don't know about the nut drivers you own, but all of the ones I have that are large enough to fit the hex, don't have the shaft large enough to make the hole large enough to fit over the rest of the GAV. Ya never know what is out there there might be something to do that without using a deep socket.

I just use a deep 10mm, 11mm, and 7/16th socket for the ones I have encountered.
