what are those?

 

[busboy65]

easy outs. Basically if you break the head off a bolt, drill a hold into it, shove one of these in, and pull the bolt out. Or in your case, find one that fits snug in your stripped allen head, and you should be good :thumbup:

where can i get these?

 

[busboy65]

any tool shop.
maybe even your local parts dealer
if your lucky your neighbor or a buddy may have some, but they are always nice to have for yourself just incase
