What size Torx driver tie down points

[Stoffel]

Hi,

New member just joined and would like some help please.

I have just bought a 2007 Berlingo van and I'm picking it up on Friday.

I need to remove two of the tie down bolts and noticed they have a torx head. Does anyone know what size torx driver I need? I don't own any and don't want to buy a full set if possible. I'm hoping to buy the tool and have it ready for me collecting the van so I'm not wasting any time.

If anyone knows the thread diameter of the bolt itself than even better?!

Thanks.

Welcome!
I don't have my M59 any more so can't advise on the size of the driver, but fold up sets are cheap enough and the different sizes may well come in handy on a Berlingo. IIRC the threads are M8.

Have just been out to check our B9 van and they are T-40 Torx heads the threads being M8

Thanks very much for that, it's much appreciated.

Now I can order those and have the van ready for the weekend.

If you are going to do any practical jobs I would advise you to buy a set of Torx bits, they are not very expensive and it will save problems in the future.

Everything on the van is Torx, it's false economy buying one bit when they come in sets.

Your new Van is an M59 so may (possibly) be slightly different lashing bolts from the B9 who's owners responded. You posted in the wrong section - I'm moving your thread to M59.

Moved, & welcome to the forum.
