I have some old work e-wing (2 piece) meshes and 1 of the bolts that holds the face to the lip is missing. They have a special head, kinda like a torx but you need a socket to go around it. Anyone know where i can get specialty bolts?

Please post a pic if you can, Im not familiar with the wheels but may be able to help if I can see what it looks like. Logan from Aspec might be one of the people to ask too.

it is an e-torx (external torx) bolts...good luck to you on finding those in that size...look in the phone book for any large Hardware store...not a homedepot or lowes...but a mom and pop hardware....they carry like chains,nuts,bolts,specialty tools and parts...best of luck to you bud..

A Spec- I probably talked to you early. I googled just seeing if anyone knew the name of the bolt so i can start calling some of the shops.

chmercer- yes, its not 12 point for sure

theres a place called Helco in Stanton, they sell nothing but nuts and bolts, i dont know the adress but i know the location its next to super autobacs,from autobacs go down beach blvd toward the beach then right on garden grove towards seal beach pass hoover and the next street should be called Western, make a right on Western and it will be on the right hand side. if you pass Lampson then you went too far, hope this helps.

Yeah I told u just go to the bolt store and bring in the bolt

They match you up with something comparable

Specialty bolt stores are usually good, you dont need to call ahead cause if they dont have it then its not made
