Would anyone know where to get 6" deep, 1/2" drive, 1-1/8" sockets?

I would look at PROTO's website. If you have a Fastenal close by, they can get it for you

Posted on your other post Ted, check with Snap On, Matco or Mac. Proto also a good idea, most likely a lot cheaper if they have it. 1-1/8" extra deep, better dig deep in those pockets!

We can assume a modified one wouldn't work, as I recall we made one a while back for something, bought a 5$ import from auto parts store, cut it off with chop saw and welded the ends in a 1 1/2 pipe I think, something similar to this. I stuck long extension in the drive end in reverse to true it.

That's kinda what I was thinking Sberry, fab one would be quicker.

Matco, Part number CXDP366V, 1/2DR EXTRA DP IMP SKT 1-1/8". This is show in a set, p/n SCXDP136V for around $450. They don't give specifics on the length of the socket though. The Snap On socket I found was only 5" overall.

Here's a link for Sunex, http://sunextools.com/index.cfm?s=detail&subcat=104&item=1426   1/2 inch drive, 1-1/8".

We made some up like Sberry did for tightening leak clamp bolts. They work good and you can make them as deep as you need to.

Got the part no. from the gas company welder and ordered them from Fastenal. Thanks again- it's nice to have an informal team to go to to get most any situation resolved by a bunch of extreme professionals- Ted

White cap construction supply sells them i forget the brand.

I have made them before myself and never regretted doing it with a cheep socket.
