Actually Darth, mine are Allen headed, but I thanked the guys anyway, as they took the trouble to reply ;)
I only have a couple of old allen keys & they are pretty chewed up, so have not been able to find the correct size to buy a good quality socketed bit from Halfrauds.  :y

Pretty certain that halfords do a few allen key bits on a rail which aren't to dear.

I thought the size was 8mm Allen Key but it could be a 6mm :-[

Not a great help but if you buy both one will be right ;D

No problemo  :y

I can highly recommend the Halfords 150 piece set, it really is excellent, spanners are a a little thing, but it has almost everything you need for all jobs on the Omega. You need to get a couple of 1/2 and 1/4 adaptors, but apart from that, its good. By far the best thing i bought for the garage :y

Its on offer for £99 last time i was in (usually £150), but got a trade card, which can always get it for that price *i think*, Jimbob mentioned it was £99 on trade.

Darth, I hope you don't feel slighted by me not saying anything about your previous endeavours in my last post, it is just that I am speechless in the presence of such a God as yourself ::) :y
