Torx on a '66 Mitch??

These came off a '67 Malibu that was, ahem, "restored", 25 years ago using what ever fasteners were close at hand (hardware store ) etc.
Everything else in my garage (66-67) is hex.

Now you're going to make me go out in the unheated, back shed, get the ladder out and climb up to open the door... I need to measure for a new driveshaft too. That will be fun with the '38 under it.

I moved a lot of crap to get at the driveshaft and then set the ladder up to look at the striker. It seems the second, self proclaimed, bodyman didn't have the correct tool for them and they are so chewed up in the center that they look like they may have been hex, but are now a combination of hex, torx and whatever he had in his hand that he could beat in to turn it. These were brand new for him too, as the original set got the same treatment by the first, self proclaimed, bodyman..... I must have known about this a couple years ago, when I set the vent frame and door glass, but don't recall. I'll be ordering another set from DR for spring.

Those look like Allen head to me.

Kinda hard to see well at that angle. I think the set I bought are torx, but the car is in storage, so I can't look at them right now.

One of my 70' Camaro GURU Friends turned me on to this EBAY Link selling
TORX Head Striker Bolts...........

https://www.ebay.com/itm/181026053950


Im still curious if the ORIGINAL "TORX" were something other than "TORX" and if so,
what tool is used to install this ??? Bolt...........and are the Reproductions "TORX" or
???? Confused Yet

I'll see if I have a proper sized Torx socket tomorrow and I'll try it on an '70 original Olds striker as well as a pair of NOS strikers I have.

Thanks for posting that link.....I'll stand corrected on my statement above ("not repro'd").
