At my wits end, i need a torque wrench that goes down to 12ins/lb (1.6nM), to use once, for about 30 seconds, have tried asking at garages/engineers etc, but no one has one that goes down to such 'A Tiny Amount'!!
Can anyone help?

Ya sho' got that right!

I can buy several, but as i pointed out, it's a once only event, & will take as long as it takes to fasten 2 screws down.

2 screws that hold the top on the brake master cylinder,
too tight & it leaketh,
too loose & it leaketh,
unevenly tightened & it leaketh still!
The manufacturer has redesigned the cover ( not admitting that the originals were prone to leaking or anything!), and now the torque is 12-15ins/lb, the original torque was 6in/lb!!!

Thanks for the help chaps, nice to see the spirit of camaraderie is still alive on shrimpsvoices!
Thanks shrimpnsave, so close, but , unfortunately no cigar!!
Andy, can't find one on the laser website, they only seem to go down to 5nM!
I'll carry on the quest!
