Default Screw Size Question

Do any of you guys know off hand what size the torx screws are that hold the clutch inspection cover on ('08 SG)? I tried a 20 but wouldn't fit and a 15 is too loose. Don't want to strip them you know.

Thank you. Looks like a trip to Sears is in my near future.

Northern Tool might be a better choice. Not sure you can get individual torx bits at Sears.

I just go to advanced auto, they have a jar full. About a dollar each, buy 3 or 4. I have issues with finding them when I need them.

Sears carries it by itself.

And do yourself a favor, go get some chrome, 1/4" x 20 x 3/4" long cap head screws with a hex drive. Better quality and less chance of a strip job on those stock screws. not that a strip job is bad, but dont want it there!!!!

Sears is only about 5 min from my house. This is the perfect excuse to buy a good set of torx bits.
