where can i get a 40mm socket?

you know.. for the steering box? i have searched over a half dozen stores and special order catalogues, and i cant find any.

ocasionally, some places offer 38 and 41mm sockets, but never 40mm.

wtf?

ideas?

i think $50 is worth all the hassle of possibly rounding ogg the bolt or nut, and then going through the trouble of having to get a new one and dealing with the mess of finding a new one and trying not to round it off too.

maybe worth the 50 bucks, but when i can get one for 20-25 if i look around a little more why pay twice as much?
