[TowerTalk] Yaesu G-2800 mast bolt: What hex key do I need?

[Jim McDonald]

Al,

I have a bolt I'm not using, but I don't have any metric keys to measure the size.  I don't think my metric rulers are accurate enough, though it seems to be 6 mm across (is that the way to measure it?).

If you can wait, I can take it with me to the store the next time I go to measure it.

73,  Jim N7US

I need to remove a mast from my G-2800 and need a hex key for the thru bolt which is a 'M8 x 95 socket head cap screw'.  I cannot find my metric keys and need to buy one but do not know which I need.  Anyone know?  It will save a trip the tower to find out.  The Yaesu documentation does not specify.

Tnx!
