A friend of mine talked me in to remotoring one of my locomotives, The project has been interesting to say the least but I have learned a lot. Now I’m almost done but can’t find a tool to complete the project.
Does anyone know where I can locate a box (open ended) wrench for a 2mm nut? I have some that I need to tighten but am afraid that doing it with a larger tool won’t give me the “feel” for how tight I’m actually turning them and I may either strip threads OR completely break the bolts. A 2mm screw isn’t all that big and the threads are like hairs.
Shop around. Check their minimum order, shipping charges.

I have been looking for the same thing and tried the local Sears and Radio Shack stores. Thay had nothing. I was on the Bowser web site and picked up a good hint. Try using socket head cap screws or set screws. These should be available at your local hardware.
