For the big cross bolt that tightens the top and bottom together? That's a 3/8" allen socket. I bought one off Amazon just for it, and it stays in the box with it for when I need it. Also, you're supposed to torque it to 35 ft. lbs. to hold a barrel in place and keep it from slipping. Be sure to use the supplied non-adhesive drywall tape around your barrel shanks. It works like rosin, but without the mess, and it will protect your finish.

As for the ARCA base missing parts, I'd just call SAC direct and ask them to send you some. They have good CS.
Thanks. So it supposed to have nuts and screws for ARCA base installation in the package?
I use mine differently and mount on my vise and remove it when not in use, so I don't use the bench mounting plate, but I don't think it came with mounting bolts and nuts for that. I'd probably still contact them and find out what type, diameter, etc... they recommend.
If I remember correctly it’s 1/2” cap screw bolts that it is countersunk for.
