Hi all,
I thought one of you would know the answer to this... what size alan key do I need to remove the tiny bolts in the top of my hope mono 6 reservoir?
I went through almost 40 alan keys & none fit... It can't be 1mm, is it 1.5mm or imperial?
Thanks in advance to everyone who helps.
[url= http://www.hopetech.com/webtop/modules/_repository/documents/2004Mono6-Tiexplodedview.pdf ]Which One[/url] Only M6's on the digram unless you mean on the lever, 2/3mm but can be made into screwdriver compatible
Moto? They're T10 torx.
thanks so far guys - it's not MOTO or 6ti just mono 6. I mean the 2 bolts that hold the top of the reservoir on. any ideas? right where it says dot 4 or 5.1. cheers...
No they are not threefish - they are 2 mm on my hope M6s Its an unusual size
They've only ever been either 2mm (original dome-top), 2.5mm (later flat-top) or T10 (Moto). I have a feeling that you may have a couple of rounded-out bolt heads. Could you post a picture?
No they are not threefish
Moto M6 use T10 torx.

thanks again, they may be 2mm yes. I know they are not rounded, I can see they are so far untouched. I know they aren't 2.5 because thats what I use on the lever to adjust the reach so I tried that already...
would like to post a picture but it's genuinely to hard for me at the minute.
Amazing that so any have already helped, thanks again everyone!!!
Threefish - I have a set and just checked - its 2 mm. Its not a moto set - read the post. 2 mm on hope flat top resovoirs. - the hope mini lever

What are you talking about? I said that Moto (still marked Mono on the caliper) would be T10. You said they wouldn't be; you were wrong - see picture of Moto lever as evidence.
For the Mini lever you've pictured, the dome-top bolts will be 2mm. The flat-top [b]bolts[/b] will be 2.5mm.
I am answering the OPs question. He does not have a moto lever as he said . So his standard bolts will be 2 mm
You might get your naming of the bolts correct as well. Dome head or cheesehead, Dome head ones are standard.

That wasn't established, and could not be assumed, until I asked him.

You sad, sad man.
Probably machine screws as well not bolts
Do you ever feel embarrassed by the way you conduct yourself on here?
Do you? You claim expertise you clearly do not have and are objectionable and stroppy when its pointed out.
I merely am laughing at you.
Do you feel embarrassed by your conduct or not?
I bought some replacement bolts in stainless steel as the originals are known to round & the new ones were 3mm hex.
TandemJeremy has posted the correct picture & thanks so much! 2mm it is.
Thanks for all the help & I really didn't expect this much help (or dispute).
you are a good bunch.
😀
an update for you's...
I got hold of a 2mm key & it round both straight away! I got them both out though (easily) by hammering a slightly larger torx into the hole. worked a treat.
they tightened properly too. Job done & many thanks to all. I will contact hope & upgrade the bolts to torx heads.

Hope at some pint have used 2mm,3mm and t10 torx for the resevoir top cap screws so YOU WERE ALL RIGHT....a bit.
