Where can I get a 14mm hex key?

I need a 14mm hex key for the bottom of the forks. The only place so far that has this size is Snap-On but I don't want to mail order the part. If anyone has this size, where did you get it from?

You should fill out yer profile so we can see where your from. If your in the states, I got a nice set of 3/8 drive hexes from Harbor frieght and a set on a key chain. Both had the 14 mm.

harborfrieght would be a good choice.  You could get a bolt that fits and weld a nut on it.

The valve takes a little work to spin out, so opt for the purchase of the right tool instead of a bolt, as it will work better.  I got mine from Cornwell Tools I think for $10 or so.

Just an update... I had been looking for the 14mm hex for a couple days now. I checked Sears Hardware, Home Depot, Lowes. None had it.

I had to stop in AutoZone and they had just gotten in a shipment of tools. They have a 3 pack of hex sockets from a company called OEM. The sizes are 12mm, 14mm and 17mm. They are 1/2" drive and cost $7.99.  The part number on the package is 25417 and the sku is 076812254177

I hope this helps anyone who needs the socket in the future.

$8 bucks for the set. :shock:   You can't beat that but I kinda liked my bolt idea.  I'm on my way to pickup a set.
