On something as sophisticated as the "Impacto-Scopic" steering column, why
would you WANT to use anything less than a genuine "Unbrako" (PLEASE note
correct spelling, btw) hexagon wrench? OTOH, the Herald/Spitfire and
GT6/Vitesse 2 Litre Factory Manuals simply note the use of a "socket key" to
tighten that setscrew. :-)
