Distributer Wrench Size for 1.1 GT

I am trying to set ignition timing but don't have a wrench to reach lock bolt
behind and below distributor. I can see it with a mirror but can't reach it.

Distributor wrenches I can find locally are 1/2" and 9/16".
Online I find 13mm and 15mm. I assume I need a metric size for this.

Does anyone know size of this bolt and where to obtain proper wrench ??
# This is for a 1.1 engine, distributor is at Left Rear of engine. See pics #
Thanks in advance for any help .

Thank you for speedy replys. I have ordered 13mm dist wrench from Summit Racing,
less than $ 15 inc shipping. Snap On lists one for over $ 50, I'm sure that's a better
tool for professional use. But mine will never wear out used 2 or 3 times every 5 years.
But if this one breaks I will warn everyone.
btw Gordon, if your 1/2" wrench fits a 13mm bolt head something is worn a lot.
An old 12 point is more likely to fit than a 6 point. 8mm and 5/16 are closest match.
Again thank you both for help.
