Which is asking for a major hassle when and if they need to come out again in a few years. I'd order up a new set of the stock inverted Torx bolts.

Solid info thanks for sharing with me. My indy is doing the work anyways so I'll let him know and if he feels like getting another set of inverted torx head bolts i'll pay him for them.
