Title: What are these weird screws on my CP?
Post by: JoeStrout on August 12, 2015, 10:10:53 am

I'm trying to clean up a Gauntlet Legends cabinet.  The control panel overlay is held down with some kind of security screws:

Anybody know what exactly this is, and where I can find a driver for it?

Thanks,

T20 security Torx bit
you can get a whole cheap security kit from Harbor freight.

Damn... You're pretty good at identifying size based on a pic! Owned a Gauntlet Legends before?

You can pick up a cheap security bit set at places like Harbor Freight and possibly Home Depot

Thanks guys!  You rock.

EDIT: for those who live by Amazon Prime as much as I do, it looks like you can also get them here (http://www.amazon.com/Torx-Driver-Security-T-10-T-40/dp/B0002SPLQ8/).

Personally, I would spend a couple extra bucks and get a much bigger set. This one has a bit for about any security bolt I have encountered.

That is the Harbor Freight one.  It is currently on sale for $9.79 if you have a HF nearby.

I broke one getting rusty bolts out of driving cab bases, so got a replacement from the local Fastenal.  I think it was $3.85 for the one bit, but the harbor freight is 40 minutes away.

And don't turn the case upside down without that foam liner in there.  :banghead:
