OK Glad it fit yours. I just bought a 1.5mm based on that post and it does not fit my BAIII. Does anyone know the right size for a BAIII? The 1.5mm is too big for my BAIII.

I keep reading about Leo Quan's poor service. Besides the mystery allen tool(which I never had a problem with finding)...what could go wrong with such a hunk of chrome? The only thing I don't like about them is the screws are bigger and longer..making you drill into the wood a bit more. But you can use the original screws, is the thing. Do people just like talking on the phone about guitar parts?

I had a complete metric and SAE/Imperial sets of allen wrenches. None fit. Right now I can't find the metric set, just the SAE set. I had one hex key that fit provided by THE BASS PLACE in Arizona, but left it behind departing former abode in haste and pretty sure I'll never get it back so I'm on the hunt again. I bought the 1.5 mm and it is too big and won't go into the screw head. Will now have to get another full metric set. What a pain.

A great option here is the Stew mac guitar repair kit. My wife got it for me this past Christmas and the Allen head attachment works like a charm on my Bad $@! II bridges.
ABS :D

OK for my BAIII bridge the 1.5MM does NOT work. So I ordered a micro metric hex key set from Amazon. The 1.3MM worked, which is the next size down from 1.5MM. Seems a good fit. 1.3MM was not in the metric set I bought locally nor in any metric set sold around here at any hardware store at this time.

So Leo Quan bridges use different keys based on model. STUPID STUPID STUPID!
