I find those zdmark tools on ebay.com often!

Or you could buy from http://www.metalnerd.com
Part number MN18T160 $20

I just bought their XZN (triple square) socket for the early 1.8t cylinder
heads so I could rebuild my 1997 1.8t engine.
Their tool was of excellent quality!

I would like to thank everyone who responded to my post. I appreciate
the info.
I have one more question...someone told me you could use an allen wrench
to remove the bolts, but to use the polydrive to install the new ones.
Has anyone done this? Any idea what size to use? Thanks
