Matt and Richard --
I just started subscribing to this list, so forgive me if someone has
already responded . . .
Moss Motors lists the 1-61/64" hub nut socket on page 30 of their latest
MGB catalog (MGB07) as being available under part number 384-905 for
$25.85. It is a 3/4" drive socket, so you may also need a reducer.
Hope this helps.
