Hex screws on 69RI Mustang

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?

Yes I guess.. but I forgot to mention that one of them fitted the trem arm screw almost perfect and and another of them fit the bridge alright.

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
