    Wheel socket can be sourced from Ricambi or Taurino Racing. They are pricey.
    I will look for the quick wand setup source and post.
    Do you also need the dry-fill socket and fuel can?

    Ricambi does not have the socket I called. The air wand is the same one as my Sobek Porsche Cup Car one so I am all set. I am however considering that I machine my own wheel socket and then have it heat treated. They seem to be tough to find.

    I have (2) Atl Dry Break fuel jugs, do you have one you are looking to sell?

    I made these stands for the car to sit on when you lift it and leave it up. The ones that go around the air pistons always beat up shafts and eventually cause them to leak. The Porsche guys use these all the time I have made about 100sets of them for the Porsche guys. I am not sure if the Ferrari guys use anything like this?

    If you want a set let me know.

    Snap on will fit as a wheel socket, its 88mm and needs an insert to hold down the spring loaded locking device. Inch drive and you will find it easier than the original cos of the shape of the socket over original

    The wheel socket is exactly the same as used on an Enzo but tbh its much less expensive to simply get someone with a toolshop and access to a CNC machine to make you one off for about $100 (or less).

    I've forgotten them now (think it was 88mm) but they aren't specific to Ferrari and a regular oversized (large) torque wrench can be used (normally with a 1" Square drive to torque up the reverse threaded center lock nut to the 550Nm required without even needing access to an air wand.

    I am going to machine one and I will post some pictures. I am going to make an aluminum one first to make sure that the tool passes work out correctly and then I will make steel ones.

    The part number for the quick wand is Genesis GEN-GA3205.

    They run about $260.00.

    You will need to get the high pressure hose, fittings, and a regulator to work with a nitrogen tank.

    You can buy a small tank or lease a larger tank at a local PraxAir store.

    The hose should be 3000 psi or equivalent, the regulator able to handle 350-450 PSI output with 3000 psi tank pressures.

    Last I checked, Ricambi had one and so does Andrea at Taurino Racing.
