Just now I had to go out and confirm on two ZR-1s
For the Oil Pan Drain Plug the 14 mm actually fits just a tiny bit tighter than the 9/16 which is good.
For the Battery Cable Bolts to Battery Connection the 8 mm fits just a tiny bit more loose than the 5/16 which is fine.

Both the 14mm and 8mm flex head ratchet box open end wrenches are perfect for the set of Tools to Carry in the ZR-1
Yes I do know about the bit different LOL and having NOS drain plugs BUT having always used a 9/16 box end I had to take a NOS drain plug and try the M14 after seeing this thread. An M14 wouldn't fit the NOS drain plug. An older drain plug is quite likely a fit. It's been a few years since we discussed the battery terminal bolt hex requirements.
