I don't have a master mechanic tool box, but it aint bad..... I cannot find the correct allen wrench size for the front Caliper bolts on my 83 Fox??
1/4" too big, 7/32 too small, none of my Metric allen wrenches worked either...
Any help here before I go postal..... Thanks
EDIT, never mind, its a star drive....... Need to find my glasses......

Is it an allen head or a Torx (star shape)?

I see some people want to rub it in on the old guy.... LOL
Yes it was a Torx.. Yes I have quite a few torx bits as my harley and the FKN BMW likes them.....
The head slots on the bolts were full of dirt and I did not have my glasses on.....
