If I recall correctly, the Allen wrenches are not metric, they are standard sizes. Any hardware store should have them.

I’d get a ball end for the truss rod.

Man, I wish I could remember where I saw those sizes listed. Seems like it was on the Dingwall site.

I just looked my wrenches over and there’s nothing stamped on there just the color coded tape.

For some reason 3/32 sticks in my head for pickup adjustment, since you can use it as a feeler gauge to set the treble end of the pickup with the string fretted at 24th fret.

The wrenches are mix and match some English and then one metric iirc. We’ve listed the sizes here before so an enterprising member and some search experiments on this thread should give the info.

There has been a development. My old Super P5 has appeared again on the market, close to me. I didn't think I'd miss it, but when it showed up I got the urge to buy it back. I'd need to sell the ABHS in that case, however. But if everything works out I can free up some funds needed elsewhere, and get the Super P5 back.

I've not made up my mind to a 100 percent yet, but it is tempting.

Hmm. AB2 3x Wenge neck. Tempting.

Nordstrand is definitely the Dingwall pickup retrofit choice. I sent both my ABs to him and Mo replaced my stock pickups with Nordstrand NJS pickups (hum-cancelling jazz). Fantastic upgrade, since I've always loved jazz pickups. I also had him replace the Aguilar pre on one of the ABs with a 3 band Nordstrand pre, which I love.

So, where does one go to buy a Dingwall P-Tone pickup? Toying with the idea of putting one in my D-Bird.

Contact your dealer or directly through Dingwall. I emailed Dingwall sales and they sent me a split P-tone for my SJ :)
