Has anyone in Brizvegas got a 38mm 3/4" drive socket that i could borrow for a couple of days. Why, i was about to remove the gland nut from the flywheel and it is a larger size gland nut it's 38mm not 36mm standard. I have a 36 and 46mm socket but no 38mm. Any help will be repaid in a 6 pack of your fav swill. Cheers Damo.

38.1 mm is the same as a 1 1/2" AF socket. If you have anyone with an imperial set they will get you out of trouble.

With 0.1mm being the thickness of a sheet of paper, it doesn't make any difference in the fit on the nut. There are a few sizes in the imperial range which fit metric.
