Looking to see if anyone has a couple and can spare one. Or let me know if can be obtained locally not via dealership.

I think I ground down all but the 2 tips,
on a 9/16"?,
six point,
deep socket.

That's what I did as well. Sacrificed one of my many spark plug sockets. Did the job okay ill still be looking for one but going to get some adtermarket top plates and bearings and it looks like its going to be a regular nut instead.

What suspension are you putting in?

Go to mk3 VR6 strut mounts and it switches to regular nuts on the strut bearings.

Might have to switch your spring hats (depending on what you put in for suspension).
