Hello,

An 11/64 drill bit is 0.17185" in decimal, which is approximately the 
tap drill size (0.1770") for #12-24 thread.

In this day and age I would also be tempted to try a metric screw. A 
M5x1.0 would be closest.

Subject: [TR] Rocker Shaft locating screw
Anyone know what size the rocker shaft locating screw is? I just
received a rocker shaft that the screw will not go into.  Checked with
drill bits.  An 11/64 drill bit would go into old rocker shafts easily,
but not into the new one.

Shouldn't make any difference, but this is for a GT6 mark 1.

Thanks,
Roger Elliott
