Reading the mail from the last few weeks I noticed some questions about "Torx"
 
Microfasteners calls them "6-lobe" screws as "Torx" is a copyrighted name. But they can be found directly at http://www.microfasteners.com/catalog/standard.cfm?Category=SSC&SubCategory=FCMXS
 
I've used all 4 sizes in various applications on my plane and am very happy with them. I wish they would make them in a round head as well, then I would be completely rid of all Phillips. I bought 100- #4, 100- #6, 500- #8, 100- #10. This might seem like allot, but it worked out just right, leaving me with enough spares.
