Default Adjustable rear struts

Ive had Adjustable rear struts for a number of years, cant remember where I got them.

Used an adjustable spanner on the lock nuts but its awkward so decided to get the correct spanner. Roughly measured the lock nuts at 1 1/8 so spent A$50 on a nice short sidchrome spanner only to find its a tad too small. 1 1/4 is way too big. Anyone know what size its likely to be, metric possibly?

Just went out to check my new ones, still in the bag. 1 1/8 is the size that is on my Zip struts. Good Luck

I used a set of verniers and they look to be 1 3/16 which I couldnt get but 30mm is close.
