NC30 top yoke ignition switch bolt type?

Post by veefer400 »

Hi all

Have been invited up to sunny Swindon to help a forum mate swap top yokes on his NC30, I understand the ignition switch bolts to be a strange security type?

Can anybody advise what type they are please?

Cheers!

They are a shallow head torx assembled with a thread lock so can be difficult to remove, the cables get in the way of the socket drive too.

If changing yokes, I would take the yoke off first and unbolt the switch on the bench or in the vise.
