My off-the-shelf-at-FLAPS set of T-handle metric allen wrenches includes a
2 mm. So does the allen wrench set that was about all I salvaged from my
old M-B 230SL when I traded it in on the contractor's bill for my wife's
studio building.
Are you sure they're allen-head screws? The tiny fasteners in the V8 light
switch I took apart were #6 torx head, which is about the same size as a
2mm allen. Sears here had nice little torx screwdrivers, those kind with
the swivel built into the end of the handle. Their catalog lists torx
screwdrivers down to #5, but the store didn't have any. Luckily, the
switch screws were #6 or 7, I can't remember for sure. Threw me for a loop
when a 2mm allen didn't fit into the socket.
