Default SOLID diff cover, H14 hex bit? seriously?

So I got my Dana 30 SOLID differential cover yesterday and was so excited to get it installed and have my diff protected when I get on the trail friday, but for somereason the folks at solid though it be a good idea to make the fill plug a H14 hex bit fitting. Goodluck finding one, I have been to ace hardware, home depot, lowes, autozone, advanced auto parts, sears, no luck. What the hell? Couldn't have made it a H10, cause that's the biggest I can find ANYWHERE! I mean, it seems like a solid product (no pun intended) but shit I just wish I could get the damn thing put on. Anyone know who might carry a H14, I don't want to have to order one online and wait. Maybe a repair shop will let me borrow one or something. RARRRRR!

I just reused the stock hole plugs that were from what I remember much easier size to find.

just finished the install! looks awesome. feel better on the trail tommorow. Once you have the proper tools, its easy. Just hope I did a correct job with the gasket. Doesnt come with instructions, but WOL has a write up that is right on.
