Default zetec flywheel problem

i have a silvertop zetec.
i need some small headed flywheel bolts for my project.
the trouble is i thought i'd buy the small torque headed bolts from the black top zetec but only to find out they are smaller threads so they are no good.
has anyone got any ideas on what bolts i can use so i can have a smaller head or even an allen key type bolt will do.
i cant get a socket over the standard silvertop zetec bolts on my project to tighten them up!

It's usually easier to grind/machine the socket.

the hole is the same size as the std bolt head so i cant get a socket over it.
i need a different type of head on it.
