Thats weird mine were a 3.5 allen wrench. I guess mine were not stock.bcmbcmbcm said:they are torx bolts. go buy a torx driver from PepBoys or wherever.
bcmbcmbcm said:my '87 has been under my hands since day one, and it is torx for sure on mine, 100% positive that no one has ever touched it. Although, was valet parked in NYC for a number of years...
whats wrong with Torx's??bcmbcmbcm said:if you don't care about being 'correct', f&cK it and replace them with allen screws... torx are a PITA and I use them once every 5 years, replacing my intake plaque was one of them... on a different note (read=rant) I am proud to admit I bought an extra new new new plaque 2 years ago from a Ford dealer speculating they would be obsolete very soon...VERY hard to duplicate the wrinke finish inside a machined finish as is the stock part..
Why not just use a Craftsman screw out bit? Should make short work out the small bolts, and you wont have to F'up the plate or upper intake.mustangjoe87 said:i was gonna paint mine too a while back and yeah 3of4 came out great and the 3rd stripped. so when ever i get a new intake im just gonna break the plate.
