[Shotimes] TORX Specs link

[MonsieurBoo@aol.com]

Here's a link that shows the point-to-point measurement of the TORX tool bits 
in both inches and mm for each TORX size.  With a little careful measuring of 
the TORX slots in those large fasteners it should be possible to determine 
which size is the correct one and avoid buying the wrong size bit.  Smaller 
sizes demand progressively more measuring finesse but I assume those bits are 
already in our toolkits.

Interestingly enough, the progression of these values from small to large 
TORX sizes isn't at all apparent by looking at the numbers.  However, when I 
graphed them on a logarithmic scale, it generates a nice straight line so there is 
some method to their madness.  If anyone's interested I'll send you the .XLS

I think it is the same size as is used for the seat belt retractors.  Maybe a 
T-30
or 35.
