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

Thanks,
Dag

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,
Dag

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!

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."
