SUPERSLIM-brand, ½-inch drive, 15 mm stem-length, Chrome-Vanadium socket tool, for 8 mm sized, XZN, 12-pointed spline (i.e. triple-square) socket screws.
As a service to fellow VW owners, I purchased several of these, at a local tool & general hardware store, at the tail-end of their closing-down sale, which I now make available to you, as follows:
Price: £3•00 each, inclusive of UK postage & packing
Payment: Cheque, payable to Nigel A. Skeet
Contact: Nigel A. Skeet, 2a Sydervelt Road, Canvey Island, Essex, SS8 9EG (E-mail: naskeet@hotmail.com
The 8 mm sized, XZN, 12-pointed spline (i.e. triple-square) socket screws, are widely used on both air-cooled & water-cooled VWs and Audis; particularly the following:
Twenty four securing screws, for the four drive-shaft, constant-velocity-joints, on air-cooled VW Types 1, 2, 3 & 4, VW Type 25 (i.e. Vanagon or Transporter T3), VW Type 181/182 & VW-Porsche 914.
Two securing screws, for the mechanical fuel pump, on VW Type 4 style engines, factory-fitted with twin carburettors.
Single alternator-adjustment screw, on VW Type 4 style engines
Securing-screws, for suspension bottom-wishbones, of 1993~2003 VW Transporter T4
A similar tool (albeit of American Empi-brand, 3/8-inch drive and longer stem-length), is presently available from Just Kampers, priced at £9•10

Put me down for one of these please Nigel. Saves me borrowing a mates & walking to a shop! _________________ The advice you receive on here is worth the paper it's written on.
Your experiences are worth shed loads to others, including the f'ups - live and learn.
Wouldn't YOU rather learn by someone else's mistakes? So would they.
