Hi everyone, I have a R53 in which I just got a pair of R52 conv. front engine bay braces, w/o the Torx screws that go through the braces into the body. Does anyone know what the size of the Torx screws (Dia./Thread/length), it looks like an 8mm screw?

THX

Per my notes from my own prior purchase, those are M6-14 torx with an uniquely large binder head and anti-rotation locking patch. At the time I ordered mine, I nearly bought some generic chinesium screws that might have worked, however if any of the screw shanks broke while tightening to spec, initial cost of the OEM screws would have seemed trivial. So then, I bought the real ones (OEM P/N 07146957269) and happy I did so. ECS has them here or do some googling. Actually, I bought (2) sets; one for mine and 2nd set for my buddy's matched with new R52 braces sourced from Europe...

 

After I just posted this I found out ECS has them. Thx for your info.
