Default Distributer cover screws

Newbie, four days with 86 convertible. Past owner lost the three torx screws that secure the aluminum cover over the distributer. Would someone be so kind to tell what size torx screws they are? Thanks all

I forsee distributor problems in your future...

I'm glad to have the P/N though. It'll come in hand for me too!

be careful with your originals if you have them. those gm replacements are better than $4 each - so, if you had to pay list plus some sales tax, those 3 little screws would cost you close to $15 - somehow, that's just wrong...
