You could at least use this method to take an impression of the screw head, even if the resulting plastic tool wouldn't actually turn the screw.
When you say that a hex bit wont go down the hole, is that because of the bit holder, or won't a bit go down on its own. If a bit will go in and engage, you could grind a screwdriver slot in the other end, and use a regular screwdriver on it.
I wonder how you know that?!
I usually have a chat with the cons when I am working on the wings.
6.3mm hex won't go down the holes. They're about 5.5mm diameter.
No angle grinder?
I suppose you could use one to shorten a plastic knitting needle if needed.......
DIY endoscopy at it's best.
He'll need an angle or a bench grinder to form the tri-lobe on the steel bar:-)
