The nuts seem to be 5 mm which is different from what I had on my GFI. Anybody know where to get a tuning wrench that size ?

Thanks

Jeff - I just use a nut driver for my 1975 MSA Classic.

If it's a 70's era MSA, it will take a 3/16" nut driver, just like most of today's steels.

Thats funny, I have a regular little George L tuning wrench & it fits both of my 70's MSA Classics, just the same as the regular one that came with the MSA's. Maybe those have been changed over the years, who knows.

Thanks for the replies, I've been using a nut driver 'cuz my George L wrench doesn't quite fit. Fortunately you don't have to tune those old MSA's very much.

These fit my '70s MSA Classic perfectly. Cousin Carl (not really, but we kid each other) is great to deal with and the wrench is a top notch item.
