Lap belt torx

Post by OldRedFord »

What size torx bit do I need to take the lap bets out? Need to do some welding.

I have a T55 torx but thats too big.

If you end up stripping the torx on the bolt , seeing as you have to do some welding anyway.
Get a large nut and weld it through the center to the head of the bolt.
Then you can get a socket and impact it off , the heat also will help in removal.


Put a wet rag over the fuel filler so there's no big kaboom. :D
