OS Torx screw - what are the specs?

[gahammerle]

While diagnosing a problem with my truck, I was trying to get to the OS to see if a previous owner had done the OS bump mod. I stripped one of the torx screws so I will have to replace it.

Anyone know the specs for those screws?

I've dropped several of those while working on the OS. Just take one that's left and go to the hardware store and replace it with an equal sized allen head machine screw. Yes I have both torq and allen head screws on my IP. Not fashionable, I know.

If you've stripped the pump housing and you aren't comfortable with the remainder of the machine screws keeping the lid sealed you'll have to do some thread repair.

I've had good luck retrieving them with a magnet.
