On my 2004 C2, the screw that fastens the door brake to the body is loose. It's a torx, but I don't know what torx size (looks like 50-ish, but my torx set only goes up to 27). Anyone know what the torx size is so I only have to buy one driver instead of a whole set?

Thanks.

p.s. For those who are wondering, the door is mounted on two hinges, and the door brake is the metal link (bar) that stops the door from opening beyond a certain distance.

 

Commonly know as a check strap My car is up on the lift and not reachable or I would get this for you.

 

It should be a T40

 

Thanks, CosmosC4S. Will try that.

Steven, I always called it a crash stop until I read the "door brake" terminology in the 996 repair manual. Now I have three ways to say it. Thanks for adding to my repertoire. A 996 owner's gotta maintain his erudite image!

 

Damn Steve, you are still alive! Long time no see. How is the Turbo treating you?

 

Tim,

Having fun with it. Just got a set of RH 18" to replace the 17" it came with. Will be at Cars and Coffee with it Saturday if you are around come up and see it?

 

T40 did the trick. Thanks again.

 

You're Welcome!

 

I will be in town and would love to see it. When and where is Cars and Coffee?
