Allen wrench to secure top

Just purchased a 2001 xk8 convertible. I did not get the Allen wrench to lock/unlock top if electrics (?) fail. Also need rubber brake pad. I just need size of wrench and parts houses for rubber parts. Thanks

Welcome to the forum Swallow XK8,
Don't forget that intro in the new members section.

I think the wrench is 8mm, hopefully someone can confirm.

Might be a silly question, but did you remove the interior panel in the trunk and look on the hydraulic pump. That is where the key is stored. A lot of folks think it should be in the glove box.
