its a 12mm triple-square socket. being 12 point alot of ppl get confused thinking its the same as a multi-hex allenkey. hexagons have a 60 degree corner whereas square 90. if u use a multi-hex you'll round off your tool and the headbolt.

;


most tool shops will sell them. at very least you'll be able to get adaptor inserts you can fit into a normal socket. if you're in perth i can lend you one.
