Can somebody tell me what size the allen wrench for the little set screw on the Sho Bud brass collar are?

Thanks,
Dag

1/16" I believe

What exactly do you mean by "brass collar"? The disc where the pull rod is attached? If so, then it´s 5/64"

I`m restoring a ShoBud Professional with the rack and barrel system. The set screw on the collar/bareel which are located on the pullrod close to the cross shaft are smaller than 5/64.
Looks more like 1/16 or 3/64.

Can I get a confirmation on Glenn`s suggest?

I`m not that familar with inch measurements - we use only metric over here.

Thanks,

1/16" is what I remember too.

I'd say the guys are right....I've got a few of those & nothing to put them on if you need any?? Guess they're from my old cross-over days! Baldwin/ShoBud that is!

Doug, thank you for the offer. I have sent you an e-mail.

Thanks guys,
Dag

I have just bought a "Professional", and I re-drilled and tapped all the barrels 4mm and use 4mmx4mm grub screws. Even in this so called Imperial country of ours it is getting inpossible to buy anything "Imperial."
