Pickup socket size?

[siderealxxx]

Hi, I'm trying to find a socket to fit the pickup adjustment with no luck.

The sizes in the UK are generally in millimetres and whilst I have 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9mm etc (the 8mm fits the tine/bar adjestment head ok), the pickup head seems to want 6.5mm (i.e. 1/4"). Trouble is I can't find these in the UK at all!

Imperial/metric bummer!!! Any solutions out there?!

I had the same problem here in The Netherlands. You need the 1/4 inch like http://ep-service.nl/pickup-nut-driver-1-4
I finally bought a set like this https://m.bol.com/nl/p/bitdopset-dop-bit-set-14-delig-kort-normale-engelse-mm-inch-maten/9200000045563020/ which also contains 5/16" to remove tines from the tonebar.

I googled uk for tools like these but as you already noticed my english lets me down. Still hope this helps. Good luck with your search!!

I'm sure this will do the job:

Thanks, the Amazon one says 6mm 1/4" which is not accurate. I havea 6mm and it doesn't fit... 1/4" is 6.5mm!

Anyway I ordered the very expensive one from EP Service NL... annoying but solves the problem.

Thanks

1/4" is 6.35 mm.

I'd just like to point out to anybody who is still unsure wether this will work. It definitely does. I have and use one thanks to this post.

Any screwdriver with removable screw bits actually fits the pickup adjustment screw. Saves you a few £'s if you've already got one.

Yes I've since realized this. Forgive me I'm a noob!
