Hi, having just sold the Rapid I am transferring the Dash Cam to the 2016 Yeti we have bought. It's a simple enough job but I have just realised the Bolt I would like to use for the earth is a Torx.

 

Being an ancient old get ....I haven't got any.....so I need to order a torx bit that fits that bulkhead bolt, that I can use on one of my many socket sets....what size do I need?

 

thanks in advance

What is the location of that bulkhead bolt?

Edit: the 2 fuse box mountings are T25.

Thanks for the replies..... T50 it is then. 

Might just get a set of those keys as well.....as I presume there will be more torx bolts on the car

^  Lots!

Where is that T50 you are going to use as an earth?

Hmmm.....I might have made a blunder here......I think the multi bit socket set has no T25 it;s 10 20 30 etc

I'm going to use one of the 2 large silver'ish bolts that you can see in the fuse box.....I presume they go into the bulkhead. I will check for earth first with my mulltimeter

If you are talking about those two, yes they are a suitable but are T30.

Pleased you posted that....because I just realised I was looking at photos of the old Rapid.....and they aren't even Torx....!!!

 

I was going to use (now that I have had a proper look) one of the two bolts that go into a 90 degree bracket......but those in the photo will do as I'm not sure of the size of the others

As I said earlier these are T25 and easier to get to.

Yeah that's what I was going to use but the torx sockets only have 20 or 30t

 

What sort of Torx set only has T20 and T30?

Exactly. Most have T25 and T27

Cheap and nasty ones!

What? Cheaper than £3.88 as in the link posted by Halford 😲

why not terminate your earth lead with a tab and use a nut to bolt it onto one of the protruding threads over on the RHS?
