This is not a probability of success.

I wasn't aware that the engine mount used the female torx bolts, but Id just buy a nice set of these in any case, you'll use it rarely but always great to have the tools.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I need the size on the reverse (female) torx socket for the engine mount on a 2003 Boxster S. (12mm nut) TIA

POST 2Original post

I wasn't aware that the engine mount used the female torx bolts, but Id just buy a nice set of these in any case, you'll use it rarely but always great to have the tools. They are about 20 - 40 bucks on amazon depending on how nice and large the set is. They also sell these at home depot and any large auto parts stores.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Reportedly it is an E24, I shall see later.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
