I seem to remember that my '74 MGB rod bearings were 13mm 12point. . . and
I can swear that I've seen driveshaft yokes fastened with 12point screws
(bolts, no nuts!) -- perhaps on a '79 Bronco that I had the 'pleasure' of
replacing u-joints on.

Mark, in over 30 years I have never seen a 12 point fastener, once an 8
but that's it. Where are they used? This is not meant as a jabe I really
would like to know.
