Hi,

I got an XXX-4 yesterday, and none on my allen keys seem to fit. Can any one tell me all the allen keys used on the car? Are they a mixture of imperial and metric? Can anyone find me a link to the tools I need for this car? That would be hugely apprecaited.

Thanks in advance
Alexi

They are all imperial screws apart from the motor screws, the sizes you will need are
0.05", you may need this im not sure, its the really small one.
1/16
5/64
3/32
Buy a good quality set, they may be more expensive but last you alot longer, Hudy are very good, light, easy to use and dont ware very fast. Most models shops sell them.

Thanks for the help Ryan :)

I don't have much to spend at all, I think Hudy out of mu budget.

I am going to buy this screw kit:

And so I think I may go for this set:

I have heard a lot about integy using cheap ungraded material, but they should do the job for me shouldn't they? Are they a good price?

Many thanks
Alexi

I cant comment on integy as i have never used them, for the quantity you are getting for the price is very good and for that price they are probarly not great quality but will still work.

Dynamite do a set which i used a littl we while ago which are very good quality for money, should last you a good time.

I bought the set Ryan linked to, thanks again for your help mate.

That set looks really nice, but it's closer to what I paid for the car lol
