Erm, headset spanners?

[Hermit]

So picked up a good condition Saracen recently, 1995-ish, one thing I don't have is headset spanners, in the 90's I had Kona Impact headsets on my bikes so never got any. It's a 1 and 1/8th headset, so just looking for some cheap spanners as I don't want these tools to cost more than the bike, are they a standard size for all 1 and 1/8th - sizes I've found are 32mm and 36mm, do I need 2 x 36mm?? Or, do I need to measure my large nuts just to make sure ... ooo'er

Main thing about headset spanners is that they need to be thin enough for the flats on the adjustable cup underneath the locknut.

So measure that. (Then get someone else to measure it!)

Large adjustable spanner may be better for locknut (controversial).

Thanks all, I'll try those on the ebay link, I'll be covered for all sizes then, and I've got a large adjustable somewhere.
