what size pin spanner?

hi there

i am building an indian roadster. most of the bits and sizes are the same as an old english roadster from the 30s.

I've got as far as installing the BB... which i did, first time with loose bearings! I screwed the adjuster ring in with lock ring and all, but have about 5mm of play left to right.. so i'm assuming that i need to tighten the adjustment ring. i don't seem to be able to do it with my hands, and i'm a bit scared to try just using a wrench (for fear of ruining the threads). there are 4 small holes in the adjustment ring. they dont look deep enough to take a tool, but i think they must be designed to take a pin spanner.

So, my two questions are:
- does this sound like a believable scenario, have i got the right end of the stick, is it likely I've done anything wrong so far?
- assuming i do need a pin spanner, which do i get? http://www.winstanleysbikes.co.uk/pr...n_Spanner_Tool seems to suggest green... does anyone know if that'll be compatible with what i have?

Cheers!

Tom
