  1. Hi,
    As the title suggests, what type / size socket fits the large bolts that hold the trellis section to the engine and alloy side members ?

    It looks like a bloody big torx, but what is it and where do I get one ?

    Happy Christmas all.
     
  2. Is it a 55 torx ?
     
  3. its the adaptor that came with the SW Motech crash bars, if your near surrey u can borrow mine picture supplied adaptor.jpg

  4. Lol, it's Much bigger than that Peter :wink:

    I just had another look and it's not torx as it has 12 lobes.
    So it could be spline, but not sure. Will have to measure it, it's bigger than anything I currently have.
