So my guess would be that they used 12mm heads.

There are 14 and 15mm hex heads on my Honda and some 18mm ones on the
Ford.

The Ford I know about since a Ford Mondeo sits in the driveway here.
The first time i came across the odd size of 18mm I was confused, but
now I konw better ;-)


Years ago a mate that speaks fluent German and French and was working in
Munich at the time mentioned a German expression about something being
as useful as a 17mm spanner indicating it was of little use. I thought
that odd at the time as at least the spanner for the spindle on my
German angle grinder was 17mm AF, maybe he got the size wrong.
