Has anyone found the best spanner to remove the top leg nut on the exhaust side? It is impossible to get a normal spanner or socket in there as the nut is so close to the leg on one side, and not much further from the exhaust on the other side.

you need a "1/4" BSF x 5/16 BSF OFFSET spanner", that's what Seagull used during assembly!

Which side of Dartmoor? I used to live off the south western corner more than 50 years ago, My andsome.

Not that hard....go to ebay and search 1/4" BSF x 5/16 BSF OFFSET spanner.

Are you able to do that?

How come looking after a Gull just gets out of hand.....no idea.
