I have just got some MSA bellcranks,but some of them have had the Alan head pinch bolts that clamp the bellcranks on the cross shaft,ruined by someone using the wrong size Alan key,could someone please let me know what size the screws are that MSA used?Also the size of the Alan key for the brass pull rod collars please.


Cheers...Jimmy G

The screw is a #6-32 socket head capscrew, and I think the length is 3/8". I always use stainless screws.
