Hmmm I thought it was 8mm (.315"). It is only 2-3 thousandths of an inch differenence (5/16=.3125")

Anybody have a tie breaker?

I just check the step file on AndyMark.biz: Andy has modelled the shaft as 8mm with a flat at distance of 3.531mm (.139") from the centerline (= 7.531mm= .269" from the OD opposite the flat to the flat).

I hope this helps.
