Hi, just looking for a couple quick answers to
(hopefully) easy questions.

1) I have 15x6 factory alloy wheels on my '89 Escort GT.
What other cars use(d) these wheels? (Tempos?)

2) Bolts holding seat belts. What Torx size are they?
I tried a T45, it worked on driver's left (into door sill), but
on driver's right (into mid-tunnel) it stripped out. Is this
the wrong size, or is the bolt just frozen in?
I'm trying to install a 5-pt. harness.

Thanks in advance,
Dave Williamson ((email redacted)) '89 Escort GT (DSP)

A T50 works for me. The bolts have a special self-locking thread, so it
might seem kind of tight. Be sure to use Loctite when you put it back
together, and torque it right up to spec -- you really don't want these
bolts coming loose!

Are they really 15x6? The '91 and later have 15x5.5, for which I
curse Ford with much venom! Base and SE model Probes have a 15"
wheel option, are they the same size?
