Ah, the famed T-27 on the derby cover and the primary inspection
cover. Oddly enough, the first cheapo set of Torx bits I bought at
some local swap meet had a T-27 included. It's the only bit of that
set that's still left around, and just for that reason(the bikes).
All the rest went in the trash when I replaced them with Snap On's
