"Yes" - I have - many thanks for posting - much appreciated.
No - not the one I bought but identical - you are correct I wasn't looking for anything other than 7/16" when I started - but saw the 5/8" (which I've rarely had call for...) and thought - "why not..."? - as above - now I'm lookin for 2 missing spanners in the set - 7/16" AND 9/16"I saw a 5/8 203 on Ebay but ignored it as I thought you were only looking for the 7/16.

If that isnt the one you already bought maybe you should start collating a backup set !
I bet its the 7/16" .....Here is a matching set (sort of)

Yes, it is a 'get out' if in need,"Yes" - I have - many thanks for posting - much appreciated.
I know you can get away with 11mm on a 7/16" AF - but......
When you are old and retired it suddenly doesn't seem right..... (OK - if you're stuck and do not have an alternative - but this search is for my home workshop.)
Many years ago I remember listening to a "boy" boasting how he could disassemble an A Series engine with a hammer and chisel.... that almost sent me to ER....
See photo's attached..... !!!!
As you can see they (Series 203) are surprisingly small in length - especially when compared to some modern day equivalents.
OK - I admit, the thread started off with me looking for the 7/16" and I found something I wasn't looking for on the "bay" - the 5/8"
So now I'm looking for the 7/16", still - ( And I recon they are super rare as this size is so common on classic bikes and cars) - but now I'm also looking for the 9/16" .....
They are out there - somewhere.

Interesting to read they are described as "Elora Compact Pattern"Bad news, I looked at my 1968 Elora catalog and you are missing two further sizes. See below.
I did have a look in my stash, AF 205's yes but no 203's. Sorry.

Eyes playing tricks or are there a couple of 203 in there? Cannot see sizes though.
Most certainly a 7/16" AF and 1/2"AF in there - whether they are series 203 I am unsure - I have sent a message and asked - thankyou for the link.Definitely a couple, might be worth enquiring.
