Wanted: SAE Set of Allen Keys

Morning All,
I'm after a set of SAE sized Allen keys, (specifically 1/16, 5/64 or 3/32) if anyone has any spare they'd sell me?
Or could anyone point me in the direction of a UK supplier? I had a look on line but couldn't find anyone selling these American keys.
They are for my Leupold scope turret grub screws, (our Imperial or Metric just don't exactly match!).

Thanks in advance for any help

Cheers
Hillside

Thanks Tim,
I did buy a full set of amtech keys (Not SAE) from Machine Mart but none of them fit. I can try Screwfix later on this morning and there is an engineering workshop next door that might have what I need.

Much obliged

Good stuff, I have many a time stoned down Allen keys on small sizes so they "fit" as the female hex is not quite to size.
And what you don't want is it to round off then that is a right ball ache.
Gun smiths will make a screwdriver blade to fit the slot so not to chew up the edges.
 
Thanks for your help Lads.
Tim, you were bang on the money with your "rounded out" comment! I took the scope up to a friends house and we quickly established that was the problem! (obviously been too heavy handed in the past).
Anyway, I also took up one of my spare scopes and we robbed the grub screws from that and I'm good to go.
I'll order up some replacements and I'll be sorted.

Thanks again

Hillside
