does any one know where i can get the right type of socket

as its more star shaped than a normal one

also what are they called ?

any help apreciated

 

Hi,
I,ve just taken the heads off my engine and i used just a cheap halfords socket,
i was'nt a hexogon shape it was the kind that had more sides to it than a hex one. Ithink it was either 13 or 14mm it was'nt anything fancy just a plain cheap socket.

 

bugger ive onlt got the 6 sided ones

ill go halfords tomoz
cheers

 

Its called a Bi Hex socket

 

or simply a 12 pt socket. 12mm for head bolts.

 

14mm for the Subaru Head Bolts?

 

Sorry to go off topic,

Jon, PLEASE can you contact me,

Mark/Lateral.

 

nice one your a star

i found a 14mm that would fit but i was worried that i would round it off

thanks again
