Default FQS switch tool

I just installed the GURU 18psi chip.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a tool to turn the FQS switch?

I tried sanding down a golf tee to insert but it doesn't fit snug enough and I might strip the white three sided piece inside the FQS switch.

I used an allen key. Work great. Just can't remember the size. I also heard of using a golf tee.

3/32 I think - it is a bit tight but fits well.

I filed down an old small screwdriver into a triangle, it works well. It turns pretty darn easy, so just about anything that approximate size and shape ought to work.

You could always try using a typical Corvette driver's unit.

Sorry, just couldn't pass up the opportunity. It's Jeremy Himsel's avatar's fault for planting the idea in my head anyway.

Was that a personal attack? (see car on right)

Nah taking a cheap shot where it's really easy and entertaining to do. Then again there is a guy here where I work that's a huge 'vette fan and he's only like 5'4" so you can draw your own conclusions. He is a pretty nice guy though for what it's worth so I don't think it's a compensation thing in his case but you never know.

Huh? My neighbor is president of a local vette club and is like 5'5". Coincidence? Sam, how tall is your dad? Maybe they intentionally place Corvette sales literature lower on the racks and at make-up counters.

Nah, it'd be based off my height since I got him into the dealership looking for one.

What's your neighbor's name and does he drive a grey metallic C5?

His neighbor has a black Z06 if I remember correctly.
