 Fuse panel - torx or hex bolts?



I removed my fuse panel for a now abandoned project a while ago but had a hard time with one of the 4 bolts. New bolt arrived and is in the glovebox in an envelope (in the garage, at my house, nowhere close to where I am at the time of writing). I can't remember whether it was a torx or hex bolt. The Ultimate Garge has a Facom summer sale so I thought I'd pick up some additional tools. If someone can refresh my memory on which of the two that bolt is, you'd definitely be helping out

Torx. One of them is a real b/tch to get in and out. It's an always-replace item since the head strips so easily.

Yes, in particular, one of them against the firewall. A long Tee-handle torx driver should work. Ron told me about the Tee-handle trick. Just couldn't remember that it was indeed Torx. Thanks for your help Jon.

I've never tried a t-handle and I have a nice set of Facoms. My mistake I guess. I always end up farting around with 1/4" drive parts and elbows and it never works out clean.
