How big is your molex?

Right Pimps,

I'm just about ready to loose it.

I am trying to construct my own male molex connector, however, size is the issue. Isn't it always.

When I took this little bugger apart, I used my nifty .062 molex tool and the male pins came out no problem, however, they had two wires on them and I only want one. Off to the local electronics store.

I returned with .062 molex pins and got them all attached and .... they didn't fit. Too small. Back to the store. returned with .093 pins and now they are too big.

Unfortunately, I've left my calipers and micrometer in my other pants. Does anybody know what size of Pins I should be using in my molex connector?
