Ok so just got off the fone with trevor at gc he said they sell the replacement collars for 25 shipped a piece with set screws included and 6 for just the set screws

 

[RedRyder]

Cool, there ya go. Hopefully you can get the screws out and reuse the collars.

 

[f20bcg3]

Yea ima bring it to work tomorrow and weld a bolt onto them and see if i can get them out

If you're the patient type like me, you can always drill it out, but make sure it is centered all the way straight through, and the last bit you use is still smaller in diameter than the bolt diameter. Just find out what size the bolt is and stay within the range. By the time you're done that bolt will be super weak and I bet the same Allen wrench that stripped it would now loosen it! Oh, and every time you lower the car, just use a new Allen bolt!
