I'll look for the correct Bristol wrench size to fill the bubble assembly this week end.

I, too, have an A-12 that I purchased on eBay several months ago. Restoring it is on my "projects list" which means that it is temporarily sidelined. I know that my the bubble illumination assembly is stuck and appreciate JPP's advice. One other thing is getting the correct size Bristol wrench to fill the bubble assembly. I ordered a set of Bristol wrenches (again on eBay), but none of them fit. I wonder if anyone can advise concerning the correct size for the wrench?
Thanks,
Peter Hollings
