On the the Guide bolts on the brake calipers on a 1.2 corsa B

As 6mm is too small and 8mm too big. Is it an imperial size?

didnt know they did a 7mm allen key. Supose they must do just a bit uncommon.

Any ideas on where to source a single 7mm key?

special size for brakes.
go to halfords or a motor factors and buy a draper brake key
has a small 7mm key with a longer comfy handle that you can fit on either end.

I brought a single one for £3.50 with a nice big rubber handle. So all is well now

I do need to invest in a decent tool kit though.
