Hex screws on 69RI Mustang

Post by drBenway »

Hi!

I bought hex keys with inch measurements to adjust my 69RI compstang, but none of them would fit the tailpiece (cigar-bar).

So my question is: are they metric or inch?

u can get standard ones to fit in a metric hole but it will not be a perfect fit, it will be loose......or vise versa
