chimney screws ?

[Arthur Reinhart]

Can somebody let me know, what screws are holding the plastic chimney cover, on the Epic X. I have difficulties getting it off. Is any specialized equipment required or just the regular Red tools

Thanks.

Just got my top plate, and running into the same issue. It's frustrating that the the camera doesn't come with an all-inclusive bolt and key set, the way the Red One did.

Can either of you guys (or anyone) confirm that the correct driver is Torx Plus (IP8) and not regular Torx (T8)? Looking at the screws, they appear to be regular Torx.

My understanding is that a regular Torx driver will drive Torx Plus, but the reverse is *not* true. But I'm not exactly a machinist.

Mitch I will let you know when I get my Torx8ip .

I just tried it with my Torx 8ip and it worked fine. Not saying that it isn't a regular Torx8, it's just what I had and how I loosened my grill. YMMV.

I got my Torx 8 at home depot. Works just fine.

Thanks for the confirm, guys. And if you just can't get enough tedious mechanical spec discussion, try this thread: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?70561-EPIC-screw
