11 mm head on the brake drums and hydraulic lines and
 throwup bearing sleeve and
 reverse light side cap on the trannys. Early trannies have some internally
too. Bug clutch cable lock nut is an 11..
 Same size actually as a 7/16th SAE(us) bolt..so don't get started on what
metric and sae wrenches are the same too...

aren't they closer to 8 mm?

hold on, that jolted the little pea I call a brain into the right
hole.... It might have been one of those 10mm bolts holding drum onto
axle, PO substituted an 11 (or close imperial equiv)
