So, which is considered "better"? I went by my VW dealer, and when the ordered some, they came in as allen head, not triple squares. They had some triple squares available, but they were slightly shorter (5mm maybe) and the threads didn't extend as far.
"I long ago lost a hound, a bay horse, and a turtle dove, and am still on their trail. Many are the travelers I have spoken to concerning them, describing their tracks and what calls they answered to. I have met one or two who had heard the hound, and the tramp of the horse, and even seen the dove disappear behind a cloud, and they seemed as anxious to recover them as if they had lost them themselves." - henry thoreau |
