I`ve now had to keep torx bits in my desk, as well as metric sockets to handle the 8, 10 and 13mm hex heads, allen head bits and recently torx security bits to handle screws like the op`s. And, of course, the weird screws always show up on nights or weekends when the technicians are gone and their toolboxes are locked.
Please Angus, when you decide to trade the thing, either swap back the screws or take your matching bit to the dealer to make life a bit easier on the guy changing the plate. All these years I`ve only had one person supply an appropriate bit. The rest suffered the wrath of my vise-grips.
