Star Wars yoke gear hex screw size / allen key availability (UK)! [solved]
« on: February 27, 2008, 04:51:24 am »
I need to find an allen (hex) key for the large external gear on a SW yoke...seems to be in between 2 and 2.5mm, or in between 1/8" and 3/32".  So I guess 2.25mm or 1/10" or thereabouts.

If anyone happens to know the correct size can you confirm this?

Also anyone know a good source of allen keys in the UK?  Most sets I have, and have seen, do not have a suitable size.  Bloody annoying as I have 4 sets (2 metric, 2 imperial)!

I should have spent a bit more time looking...but I think I've found it.

It is a 7/64" size, and they are available (in a set) from the UK here:
