that's nothing, you should see mine... and they're both a couple of years younger than yours.

Oh, OK.

Weird about the key not fitting though. Especially as Soiouz has the same bits as me. I reckon I need a key thats the opposite "unit" of this. Imperial or metric, I'm not sure which. I nicked the bridge alan key from my girlfriends brother & never made a note of the size. Its the smallest in a set of about 36 I think.

Just for the record I needed a 1/16 alan key to adjust the rollers. The metric equivalent was either just too big or just too small.

They move nice & smoothly now.

As for my bridge I guess the alan key is even smaller than 1/18.
