No, I'm not saying I want to machine my own torx sockets.  Talk about
doing things the hard way.  :b

There is more to the engine mount than that.  Yes, the bolts themselves
are torx head, and I have a socket set that fits them already.  There
are also engine mount adjuster locknuts that go over the torx bolt.
These locknuts need Triumph Tool T3880088, which is a socket with 4
"fingers".  That is the tool I'm talking about, and others similar to
it.

Laters,
Brian
