Bonnet bolt sizes...

[schueymcfee]

Anybody know the size of the 4 bolts that are used to attatch the bonnet to the front end of the car? They use a star shaped tool to tighten them up.

I seem to have lost two, and I can't take one out because I need the car to get to the bolt manufacturer

It's eiterh M4 or M5 (can't remember) but try a normal metric bolt, take that to your bolt shop and get any allen headed one

Don't forget a washer

BTW, the "star shaped tool" is a Torx driver. You might as well buy some if you intend to work on cars because they're becoming more and more common.

(Not to stop people working on things. They're used because they can be machine inserted on a production line.)

It's allen bolts on mine but a torx drive se is a good investment

It was M6 in the end, but you got me set on the right path, cheers
