Stan,
Those set screws are #8-32×1/8" long. You may also want to consider using a 2mm hex driver, rather than a 5/64" on those screws

Lynn, what’s the rationale for using the 2mm hex wrench? |

Tony, 5/64" decimal equivalent is .0781" and 2mm equates to .0786" (about a half thousandths larger), so I sometimes use a 2mm hex driver in lieu of a 5/64" driver. Especially on set screws that are a bit worn.
