They come both ways. I like the 11mm best as it's more stable over time. 911 suspensions came with the socket. I think it's an 8mm? My 911 sockets are almost gone. The 11mm stuff on the 914 are still solid.
Thanks Eric. Picked up an 8 MM allen socket and easily adjusted the drivers side. The passenger side was another story. The hex cap was stripped so I picked up a set of easy outs. Now I have a broken easy out in the adjusting screw. Quit for a sanity break .. but will get back to it. Anyone know the best way to remove a buggered-up torsion bar adjusting screw? I think I read you can drill them out.
Anyway, I knew I would need replacement screws. OEM stuff costs $34 - $42 new, $16.50 used as published by some well know parts suppliers. The main reason for this post is to relay that replacements are available at most hardware stores (if you're mainly concerned with function versus originality). I picked mine up at True Value for $2.44 ea.
Size: 12 MM diameter, fine threads - 1.50 MM pitch, 50 MM long.
