Ned,

My toolbox is an hour away from me. but my recollection is that it is either a 10mm or 12mm triplesquare bit. Almost definitly 10mm as E**a shows this as a 11x1.5x96mm bolt. Metalnerd - http://shop.metalnerd.com/index.cgi?code=3&cat=5 - has what you need.

I think it's 12mm

This is what I use and it's worked on everything from our old '77 bunny right up through the 8v, 16v and new Corrado.

I'm pretty sure it's a 12mm triple-square. My set came w/ an 6, 8, 10, and 12, and I know I use the largest one for the head bolts.
