Anybody know where I can get a some flat sheet style metric spanners suitable for prop shafts and couplings

I use a cheap Halfords bike spanner.

I looked in my local Halfords the other day.... no thin 3mm or 4mm open ended spanners

Just get a regular one and file it down to the required thickness - I've got a selection that I've 'modified' over the years

   Terry's MAGNETO spanners.  Lots on Ebay.  Would have thought Halfords and car assessory shops would have them too.

I know.    Still usefull though. Use mine a lot.  Got loads of spanners, sockets, of all sizes. BA, Metric, AF, Whitworth, BSF.
Plus homemade thin sheet steel open enders. Can always find something close enough to fit.

A nice looking spanner for vsure but by no means thin by any stretch of the imagination.

I had not spotted the fact that they are made of Aluminum...So probably not suitable regardless of thickness...
