I bit the bullet, went to a local tool & welding supply firm, and 
ordered one. $15 for ONE socket.  And for that matter, you won't 
believe how massive a 17mm socket IS!  Shoot, you could hold a fuelie 
dragster in place with a bolt that size.......

But any tool firm (maybe not an auto parts store, but a place which 
really deals in a wide range of tools)  can order one for you once 
you explain enough times that they figure out what you want.

NOTE: Expect that it will only be available in 1/2" drive, so make 
sure you have an adapter to use it on your 3/8" drive wrench.
