I’m still trying to find a four fluted Bristol wrench that’ll fit the grub screw in my A12 bubble chamber. Can anyone tell me the size I’ll need; not all kits, which I’ll have to order from the USA, carry a full set of four fluted keys? I’ve examined the screw under a x10 magnifier, and I don’t think I dare risk using the ground down Allen key which came with the sextant. Also, the number stamped on my bubble chamber is T265. Does that mean I shouldn’t be disappointed if there’s no little steel ball under the grub screw? DaveP
