Allen key size for G11 worm mount cover

I seem to have misplaced the allen key for the worm mount cover. It's for the 2 small inset screws, not the larger screws on the back.

Does anyone know what the size is so I can get a specific replacement? I've done a few searches, but can't seem to find anything much.

Chris just go to Bunnings or similar and get a set of Allan keys for a few dollars, one in the set will fit and you will have plenty left over for any other job that may require a key.

Thanks Leon - I was going to do something like that anyway. I've got heaps of keys around, but not one of the correct size, so I thought I better check that it wasn't some strange size first (probably lame imperial given that it's US based).

I've got a key that's close, so I'll take that along for comparison and get a few near that size.

Pretty sure the the allen bolt used is not metric but imperial size. I have the same mount. I went to bunnings got two allen key sets metric and imperial. The cheap foldable sets work just fine.

Thanks! I'll hopefully get to the hardware store this afternoon so I can open the G11 worm case tonight.
