I also ground my allen wrenches per Ricks suggestion and they came out well. During the initial pad check that revealed the undersized rotor I had rounded out one of the pin pads but managed to get it out after trying various suggested techniques from the COG site. I ordered 4 new pad pins as well. The C14 should now be ready for the MSTA national next month.
Also, being a tool junkie I happened to have a new set of allens. I checked them out and they are also chamfered. Makes you wonder why they make them like that.
true "Allen"wrenches ( the ones actually made by Allen, and stamped as such on each one) have no chamfer, I have the Allen spec handook for screws and tools, giving all the dimensions (engineering manual) and they have sharp ends, as do all my true Allen keys... I used to get them from our screw supplier for free... also, all the L keys I have purchased from McMaster Carr, are sharp.. the cheap ones are all chamfered, as the tumble clean and deburr them after the hardening process, or prior to doing plating / phosphate/oxide coating.
resist the temptation to buy stainless allen keys and bits also, they are much softer than the black ones....
