As far as I can tell the top list of bolt and nut sizes on my Diesel
Westy are:

13 mm 10mm 17 mm 19 mm (in that order)

A minimalist toolset might contain the above wrenches plus a phillips
and regular screwdriver, a couple adjustable wrenches for the
few odd sized bolts and pliers/visegrips and  5 and 6mm allen keys.
(5mm for oilpan, 6mm for clutch, cv joints and inj pump), 17mm
"stub" allen for tranny fill and drain plugs. (use stub wityh 17mm
wrench)

I'm sure I forgot something important, so please feel free to add.
