Hate to put it this way, but if you are going to work on your Corvette you will need most all sizes at some time. Why don't you go down and buy a set then you will have them........
Have a Great Day!!!!!!!!

Probably the best idea. They can't be that expensive. Guess I'll buy a set, don't you hate it when you have to buy more tools.

BTW, I found out it's a T50.
