I unfortunately missed the one that Charley mentioned on eBay. Does anybody happen to have an extra center lock socket tool they're willing to part with?
I bought this from Amazon and it works well on my SR4:

Not sure if your's in the same size.
I don't use this one with an air gun, but I do use it with my big torque wrench.
I forgot to mention... The Amazon socket requires a 3/4" drive. My long torque wrench is 3/4" so I was good to go.
The Centerlock nut on the SR3 is also 70mm so that should work! Thanks!
Is the only way to torque the center locks having two people with one person stomping on the brake pedal while the other one torques the centerlocks? I can't really think of another way. Sometimes I'm by myself at the track and think I would have to ask a stranger to jump in my car and hold the brake as I don't trust a stranger to properly torque the nuts especially with the right hand / left hand torquing.

The only way I have found to torque the wheel nuts is to have someone in the car holding the brakes. I am usually at the track by myself but have never had a problem finding a volunteer to get in the car to hold the brakes. Most people are thrilled to have the opportunity to get into the car.
I use a Ridgid 18v impact gun. Hit it hard for about 3s. I've checked the torque a few times with the aid of a strong-legged helper and 3/4" torque wrench, and it's always been fine.
As an aside, Radical has bumped the torque at least twice. It was once 200 lb-ft, then went to 240, and is now 260.

Thanks! I was wondering about the proper torque value, I thought the 260 was only for the SR8.
- @johnsopa Hello, am looking for the socket for my SR5, what’s the measure of this socket? Thanks
