P38A Rear bumper torx bolts

hk_cat · Jan 5, 2022

HI, hoping someone out there can help. I've got a 2002 P38 Westminster 2.5D. The rear bumper has 2 bolts securing the bumper to chassis (see screenshot). On my car, these torx bolts were completely rusted and fell to bits and so the bumper is drooping. Am therefore looking for replacements.

Can anyone advise where I can get these bolts and what size they are? I can find front bumper bolts to buy online but not rear ones.

Thery're reverse torx M10 X 30MM if memory serves.

The front bumper bolts are the same IIRC

Pic ^^^ looks torx.
Reverse torx is ‘E-drive’ they call them. Stupid name
Had trouble getting set as there’s few on P38. Only one old guy in shop knew what I was on about.

If you can get a mortgage, I think my back bumper bolts were 12mm bihex they may have been changed in the past.

I just used Allen head bolts I had in stock.

Hmmm.... I'm sure mine were M10 Torx 14 heads. I had to go and buy the socket from Hadfrauds.

mine were that rusty that an old socket was hammered on until it got a grip and loosened the bolt.

proper use of a Manchester micrometer.
