[Elecraft] Re: Assembly Manual Feedback

Simon and others with only metric tools,

You can use the next larger metric size with no problem - especially if 
6 point deep sockets are used and all nut-drivers I have ever seen are 6 
point.
5 mm works well for 3/16 inch nuts
6.5 or 7 mm works for the 1/4 inch size - there is a slight mismatch 
here, use a 6 point if you must use the 7 mm size.
13 mm works with the 1/2 inch size.

So if you have only metric tools available, these sizes will work fine - 
I just checked for a good fit with my set of metric sockets, and the 
sizes shown above are quite workable.
