Re: Teardrop retention fastener

[Brian Dettling <aa821@acorn.net>]

Well, yeah you may fill the recess with xxx, but then lowlifes have 
kinda won.  Oh, my bad, the thread is actually 8x1.25mm by ~30mmlong.
Having 6mm hex key in glovebox is no worse than the factory 8mm 12 pt.  
Plus when I go to remove a wheel, I've got 3-way allen key wrench from 
bicycle stuff handy (don't have to go through glovebox or toolbox, FWIW).

But, teardrops are on the decline in quantity/desireablity.
