Tool source? E (external) Torx in size E12
Ok, many of the bolts on the Pepper are the external torx type, the 2 I am trying to get out are the ones that hold the bottom of the engine torque arm bracket on, the bracket that has to be removed to get that 1 spark plug coil off. The E-torx socket set I have (Craftsman) is too big diameter wise to fit all the way down the hole to grab the bolt head. I'm trying to find a deep E12, preferably in 3/8" drive. The 1/4" drive sets are available but they only go up to E10. I've done more Google searches than I care to and the only thing I can find are these cheap Taiwan set.
Cheap tool set
I've ordered a set but I would like to find a quality set for long term. I've even looked for Snap-On, KD, S-K ect but none of them seem to make them. Has anyone found a quality set?
Edit: the cheap set came today, it has the full set from E6 (I think) up to E16. They worked fine but I will keep looking for a quality set.
BTW, the top 2 bolts were E12's, the bottom 2 (recessed) are E10's. Don't think it was the cause of not getting them out no short 3/8 socket would fit down there.

Hazet. If it's needed for a German car, they'll make it. Look on Samstagtools.com. If they don't have it, Hazet has an online catalog somewhere.

Thanks. Found the socket I need (920FTX/L size 12) but there's no way to order from the site. I guess I'll have to call. Thanks again.

FWIW, I can't imagine working on my son's karts without Beta tools, they were a lifesaver.
After years of use, they were still in excellent shape.
