What size torx?

Post by Max Welton »

I have no torx sockets. So what size is this? The rod is CB Super Race and the both is marked ARP 2000 -16.

I'd just go through my 12 point sockets and see what fits.... looks like about a 3/8 or maybe the 10mm area from the pic.... not knowing how big the thumb is for comparison, that's about all I could guess. 12 points is 12 points.... torx would be a 6 point star.

A 10mm is a little loose. But the 3/8" is just right.

Thanks guys.

They are SAE bolts, expecting a 12 point SAE socket
Yeah some may call it overkill, but you can't have too much overkill.
