Default Aeromotive FPR?

What size allen key is it for the pressure adjuster on the top of these things?, i think its between 4 and 5mm? iirc, so my thoughts are that it is imperial or 4.5mm which i do not have, i think the lock nut is imperial also but an 11mm spanner fits, any help appreciated, as i used a slotted screwdriver just to get it set to pre map 3bar.

SX regs are all US made so are imperial.

The adaptor bolt is 3/16" hex and the locknut is 9/16" spanner. Think the bracket bolts and chamber bolts are all 9/64" hex. Worth getting a small set of imperial hex's basically .
