Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) VP-44 cover bolts

[ANicklas]

Does anyone have a source for the five bolts that secure the electronics cover on the VP?

They originally were tamper-proof Torx, but mine got pretty chewed up in the process of removing them to install my BD pump cover.

I managed to find some hex head bolts, but had to cut a slot in them (couldn't fit a socket on the bolt due to the counterbore of the cover), and they don't look that great. I'd prefer some regular head Torx bolts if anyone knows where I could find them.



TIA

Have you tried the metrics bolt/screw section of your local NAPA - or ACE hardware?

Yep, I feel like an idiot.
They look strange and have Torx heads... . didn't think it would be something as simple as that.
I'll check tomorrow, after I finish my time in the corner for asking another dumb question
