Kroon Harness for 944 Turbo

I have no idea why the engineers decided to use slotted screws. I replaced them with 2.5mm allen screws. Made it MUCH easier to reinstall and will be easier to remove again in the future (in 30 years or so.....).

It's not fun, but you'll get it out.

It sounds like you might have used button head cap screws if they took a 2.5mm allen wrench? I picked up a couple of M4x8 12.9 grade cap screws from Home Depot and they use a 3mm allen wrench. Google Gemini said 3mm was standard but some button head might use 2.5. The cap screws don't have quite as much shoulder area as the slotted screws, but I do think they maybe easier to install.

Yes that's correct - they use a 2.5mm allen wrench - the screws themselves are M4. I wasn't super clear on my post. 2.5MM should be fine as they are barely torqued at all. Basically finger tight+1 even from the factory.
