Does it exist?

[Graham_Wright]

My BMC 1.5 diesel injection pump has a sticky stop valve.
The shaft is located by an E9 topped screw.
I have tried in vain to located a torx socket this size. Everything but.
It appears the rest of the world shares my frustration.
What's wrong with E9?

As far as i know, an E9 torx does not exist. An E10 is 9.37mm across the peaks

1/2-inch Drive E9 Universal Spline Socket Shallow 12 Point Cr-V Steel​

As the CAV pump is pre metric, should this not be 3/8" imperial? I don't remember there being any torque screws, certainly not so big, on the CAV pumps.
A picture may assist.

before you buy you may want to call and confirm that the set does indeed include an E9 Torx socket.......if you count the sockets in the photo there are 12 though if you count those listed then there are 13....even though it states it's a 12 piece collection...!

Its not....its a Universal spline which ( in the correct size) is said to be good for the majority of fixing types.......

Well spotted, I missed that! Their other set, including the same 12 sockets does NOT have E9!
