I thought I had better look and see what tubular spanner I had in my tool kit. Unfortunately it turns out to a double ended one made in Japan for Draper! (7/16"AF x 3/8" AF) And it is part of a 4 piece set which I can't remember acquiring. I suspect the original would have been a bit larger to fill ...
