Reid Subject: Re: L20b head bolts Any where that stocks Sidchome will be able to source them for you. I bought the set of them, about 8 of em, for $70 trade price from Coventries over here. I think the list price is about $90-$95. For those that are wondering they are called "Inhex" sockets, ie a hexagonal key in a socket.
