Rounded bolt heads

[Lotus54]

I am in the process of doing suspension (and a bunch of other stuff) on my ‘new’ S3 Elan.
The Lotocones looked like could be original, so I was replacing (Plus I am putting on the fixed shoulder harness bracket). One side was stiff, but came off. The other side was really hard and one the bolt head rounded off.
Dang, of course the ‘inside’ one that is harder to reach.

Then I remember I bought this set of ‘Rocket Sockets’ awhile back (recommended by ‘Project Farm’).
That worked great!

Not seen those before but look like a worthwhile investment that works.

Thanks for posting the link.

If you're in the UK, these from Toolstation are good value at £18.98:

I used them to remove a brake bleed screw which was rounded off, and there was no room to use locking pliers.

I will check those out. Seems a bargain at 18 sovs

Being the last person to do up every nut, bolt, and screw on my car I don't think I'll need them.
As they're all perfect !
