People say that a 1.4 works but a 1.6 is a better fit as it’s almost the full width of the slot. I’m not sure if it’s really worth worrying about 0.2 of a mm.

I will purchase the 160 instead of the 140. The 160 fits directly into the screws connecting the strap to the plots? Circled in orange.

Also, I see several burgeon spring bar tool models. Am I looking at one specifically for the job?

Thanks a bunch

Agreed. Just be careful which ever size you use

For those screws circled, use the 1.4.....for the larger screws that connect the plots to the case use 1.6, though I use the 1.4 and is fine. Just make sure, painters tape or seran wrap plastic around those areas when changing.

I’m sure it doesn’t make much difference but I use the 1.6 head for the screws circled in orange.
