Do you know size and length and I can get you a normal socket cap tomorrow?

I would really like to have one the same as the rest as im a really fussy bu*ger. But thanks anyway. Also thanks for the SVA bolts

They're M8*50....
Hex is a lot easier to put torque through than Torx in my experience...
Each to their own....

are they just normal 8.8 or do you need them stronger.

I think 8.8's will be fine, but most socket caps are 12.9 anyway and look good.

My whole car is made from socket caps.

as above the ones ford use are M8x50 torx bolts grade 12.9
ford still sell them - they might even have some in stock if you really want one

but I hate torx - I got all 24 cap heads for a few quid (grade 12.9)

if your really desperate for 1 torx bolt I've got a brand new one from ford - u2u me if you want it
(I got it as a pattern to get my cap heads)
