If you know what this is and have one to sell or let me borrow for a few days, please send me a pm. If you need it back I will pay shipping both ways and give you enough for a sixer.

Apparently the entire world is out of stock. So that means that someone has one...somewhere. Unfortunately I can't change my seals without it.

Thanks

Shannon

Is it just a 12mm deep well socket or is it special for Marz? I think I have a 12mm deep well.

Its a thin walled 12mm deep well socket. Specific to marzocchi I guess since I can't find one anywhere and it's $40 online when they did have it. Thanks though

Just spoke with Marzocchi. They are back ordered. He told me to find a bench grinder and a $5 deep well socket and do some 'handy work'. So that's what I'll do.

good deal. especially since I checked and all of my deep wells are standard not metric. Shocked

How thin does it have to be b/c a lot of the cheaper brands are thin compared to Craftsman, Snap On, Matco Tools and the like.

I bought a $6 Duralast socket from Auto Zone and went to work with the bench grinder. Got it down just enough to fit in there. I'm stoked because I didn't have to spend $40 and I got to play with the bench grinder. It's always more enjoyable to build something with your hands rather than going out and buying it. :) I also got to sharpen the Rogue Pro Hoe and Pulaski.
