hi guys
anyone know what the right size spanner or socket is for the pinch bolt in the lower fork yoke is ive tried a 3/8 BSW and its too big
thanks
 
1/4W fits mine, with a bit of slack play but identical to the plug area head bolts fit, by vintage vendor quality wrenches. Some time metric fits better, often times the bigger fasteners SAE fits best.

He gave clue stating 'bottom' of fork leg, which i had to re-read after walking out to view yoke allen pinch bolts too.
 
I thought that was an SAE bolt! So I have been using my 1/2" wrench on it without any problems!
