I did better than that. Go to the hardware store and get a 3/8" coupling nut. It is a 1 1/2" or so long nut for putting two pieces of threaded rod together. The wrench it takes is 9/16" which is 14.3mm. Put one end in the hex socket bolt and a 9/16" or m14 wrench or socket on the other end and presto. Used it for my differential drain and fill plugs. Cost less than a buck, and you don't have alignment issues like you can have with the setup above.
