Barney,
Thanks for the info. It was just what I needed. The nearest hardware store
from here (where I work) is two or three miles away so I went to the nearby
auto parts supplier. The guy there got confused when I told him I needed
the 505 and 605 woodruff keys so I gave him the measurements. He still had
to get his book out and then informed me that his book only showed
measurements in 64ths (I guess math skills are lacking now a days). So I
did a quick convert and told him a diameter of 40/64. I ended up getting
the correct crank key but the closest he had to a cam key is about 1/4"
longer than the crank one. I'll see how it fits when I get home. But if
wrong, my home is closer to the hardware stores. At about 50 cents a key,
its no big deal.
