        I have a problem with my AMPS out drive. However, I also have a new and unused one. One problem, the old has flat blade screws for the two oiling points. The replacement has Allen screws, and I do not have an Allen key to fit.

        Would anyone have an idea ofthe correct size Allen key? This is not mentioned in the instructions.

          Robert. Assuming you have a metric set of Allen's, then presumably the screws must be an imperial size?? Having both sets is handy as sometimes a screw head gets worn and the next size up in metric/imperial will be a better fit. It is unlikely they used some really odd size screw.

            Do you think that would be a BANDIT size Ashley?

                    Ahh… Was using my ipad. Should have checked before sending the post.

                    Should have read..BA thread.

                    I live overseas now, so I would appreciate any suggestions as to where I could purchase these keys.

                      If it's a BA thread – which is highly likely – then it almost certainly requires an Imperial-sized Allen key. If you Google that you'll find plenty of UK suppliers. I'm sure one of them would post a small parcel like that overseas.
