Quick question. Am i right in assuming i need an 1/8" hex key for a 2004 Stingray truss rod?

Cheers,

Don't really need one at all ! Anything thin enough and metallic should do the job, i've used a screwdriver in the past.

Indeed, but for once in my life i wanted to avoid bodging it.

You won't. A screwdriver which fits in the holes in the edge of the wheel will suffice. It doesn't have to be tight - just make sure it fits right in the hole for good purchase when turning.

You've more chance of bodging the object you use to turn the wheel than the wheel/truss rod itself.

What I mean is you don't need an allen key. An alley key will work in the same way the screwdriver does above, there is no need for it to be hexagonal.

You just need something long, thin and metal. Sterling ball designed it so that you wouldn't need to have a specific size of allen key at the ready to adjust it, just any old screwdriver.
