Sump bolts

[Struggler]

Has anyone replaced their sump bolts with regular cap heads to get rid of the nasty inverted torx bits?

I want to drop my sump and one of the hardest to get to is already rounded with a couple of others looking worse for wear.

I'd just replace them with standard cap heads if possible, they look like m6x15mm??

They're M7 i think.

Insert joke about the French. I will measure them next time I'm at the vehicle unless someone else on here knows the exact spec.

Probably best to check, i might be getting confused with rod bolts 😅

M7x1 iirc, ive used regular flange headed bolts on mine.

Give the head a clout on the originals with a 3/8 extension or similar drift before undoing, usually come out ok doing that.
