Stupid looking bolts

[R666 TUS]

Can anyone please tell me what type of bolts are used
to fasten down the rocker covers ? They seem to be very
multi faceted a bit like a Torx bolt gone mad. Never really
understood all this silly shaped stuff, what's wrong with a
good old fashioned bolt? Need to get one as I have oil dripping
onto the manifold on one side.

Thanks, Col

Changed mine for std hex - note the inner and outer sets are different lengths.

The later rubber rocker gaskets are an improvement also (seal better + re-useable).
