Default A matter of Hardware!

Hey all!

Now, as most of us are aware, the various & many set / grub screws that we use to hold our tanks together / axles on / track tensioners tight, are the M3 or 3mm variety, on which you use a 1.5mm allen driver.

Now, my question is, what size is the typical gear box held down with? Ie, the Mato's / Taigens that bolt onto Asiatam base plates, among others... are they M3 as well?

I've found a decent supply of allen-head bolts that I think would be less prone to stripping out & therefore be safer to tighten down on items like tensioners & even final drive shaft (provided there clear..)

Take a look! http://lampizator.eu/shop/viewitem.php?productid=110

Also I'd like to know if anyone has a recommended source for such hardware, thanks!
