Torque wrench for sump/ oil filter - GP Mk I - ???

[Pip1968]

Just thought that I would ask on here to find out whether anyone has any recommendations for a torque wrench to tighten the oil sump plug and additionally the oil filter housing. Both are limited by their proximity to other parts and therefore there is little if any space to get both a wrench in and the appropriate socket.

I suppose this is also based on the supposition that DiY enthusiasts even bother to torque the parts correctly.

Is there some sort of offset wrench or combination that can be used.

I did my oil service some months ago now and in the end just hand tightened both items to what I thought was suitable.

Any help appreciated.

The oil filter housing has a figure on it (I think it's 25nm). I could just about use the torque wrench after I had started tightening the housing with a regular 3/8th socket.

I don't know about the sump plug, I've always gone finger tight then a turn with the ratchet and never had an issue.
