Anyone know what size the allen head is?
Trying a few allen keys, i'd guess its either 7 or 8mm.
Im going get a allen head 1/2"drive socket tomorrow, so need to know what size it is.

Also, does the bracket of the caliper use allen bolts? Are they the same size head as the slide bolts?

Cheers

I'd agree with the above, 3/8 drive sets start at ?12 for 4,5,6,7,8+10mm

Worthy investment.
