A hex head exactly one millimeter wide, complemented by a washer of larger diameter. The most easily remembered grade of the family, because converting it to the real dimension is a matter of a single multiplication.
Responsibility details are not available.
One millimeter times twelve gives a flat twelve millimeters. No rounding, no extra tenths. On a real machine that corresponds to a strong joint somewhere between a size eleven and a size thirteen wrench, the kind that holds, say, a footpeg bracket, a shock absorber mounting or the lower mount of the rear suspension unit.
It is precisely the simplicity of the conversion that makes this size a good starting point. When you measure the head on a photograph of the subject and twelve millimeters comes out, you are done. If less comes out, move a tenth down the scale; if more, a tenth up. The whole family is built for exactly this way of choosing.
On a model this size will do in quite a few places, but not everywhere. Covers and clips carry markedly smaller joints, whereas a wheel axle needs the heaviest grade. Laying the sizes out across the whole build is work worth thinking through in advance, by all means with a pencil on a drawing or on a printed photograph.
The simplicity of the conversion has one more advantage. When building from a drawing that is at one to one, the dimension can be read off directly and divided by twelve without a calculator. It saves time and above all it reduces the number of chances for a slip that could no longer be taken back on a finished model.
