69 Soft Top - pin bolt/screw head type

January 2, 2025, 10:27 AM

Tried to upload a picture but exceeded file limit size. For those who are familiar with these the heads resemble a Torx screwdriver and so would need the female version of that to remove them. But I am not truly sure it is a Torx. Anyone have ideas on how best to remove these? Looking to get rechromed.
Thanks!

These?

They're not Torx. A 12-point socket will work to remove them, though.
At $7.40 a set new it will cost you far more to replate them.
