@DaBull and I have been having a discussion of Screw/bolt heads over in the Torque setting thread here. I started a new thread to focus on the various size and types of common screws/bolts used on the Grenadier. The Table will be updated over time.
There will be some variation between cars. I know earlier model Grenadiers had torx bolts along the door sill, my car has hex bolts.#

I 3D printed my own set. Maybe useful info for those who 3D print.
