Need to source a 11mm triple square and more explicit 3A

[tim at unrealexpectations.ath.cx (stetson)]

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHNNNNNTTTTT!!!

Wrong answer! You lose on Jeopardy!  ;^}

I was sure as all get out that that was the case too UNTIL I checked the
ETKA for a 3A block.

Model: A80 Year:90 MG:1 SG:03 Illustration:2-30

049 103 384 B  Bolt, with polygon socket head  M11X1,5X96  10pcs.

Nefarious miscreants!

Since I'm not using the head(bolts) again, I might just beat an
approximately sized torx or allen in there so I can get the last 2 out.

The 12mm and BFH solution worked for the other 8 but on the 9th started
shaving the top of the bolt and it goes against my nature to do things
that result in tiny shards of metal in an engine so I'm not attempting
the 10th....... yet.

I'm torn, "the right tool for the job" ethic screams @ me to get a 11mm
but the cheapassedness part on my character says, "You will NEVER use
these bolts again, so who cares."

This email was as much a venting release (Sorry for the noise!) as it was
a cry for help.

I'm gonna toss a coin to see which way I go.
Heads it comes off cheapest, tails I pay for a one time tool.
