Well I must say I'm surprised. I don't think every Park 16mm will work. If they varied over the years, I don't know if the early or the late ones are more likely to work. I bought the last two Park CCW16's at the local Schwinn shop, but that was for the Stronglight 93 on the 1967 PX-10 (the one in the PX-10 archives wirh the funky blue lugs - I've now become it's custodian.) Never intended to try them on Zeus.

Yes, I did; and it still does:

That's the Park CCW16 wrench on a 16mm Stronglight bolt (I couldn't find the real Zeus ones).
