Hi, Does anyone have an update on this ?

I've gone to strip my 2020 drivers seat out and ford have changed, it’s not T50 anymore … It’s bigger with a more square profile :

Any idea what this drive type is called and what size it is ?

Cheers,

WD

edit : looks like it might be ‘torx plus’ in size TP55

It seems Ford changed the front seat bolts at some point, because everyone on here who has a 2015, all thread responses point to the standard Torx T50…. So not sure if that remained a T50 up to 2017 or what….

What is seen in your image is definitely a Torx Plus star pattern. Don’t try using a standard Torx, as it’s too sharp of a star and won’t seat correctly into the TP star… you’ll either round the TP head (which will suck) or twist/snap your standard Torx bit.

Here’s a bunch of TP bits available on Amazon:

Thank you

I had convinced myself it was a TP55 size as it measures 11.3mm across the recess and have already ordered a set from Amazon U.K. which should arrive today.

The only trouble is, if they don’t come before midday I won’t have time to do the job I wanted (new seat cover for the base).

I will confirm the updated size when I know for sure :like

Confirmed, ‘Torx Plus’ size 55 :

Also appears to go by the names of ‘55IP’ and ‘TPS55’

Hopefully this info may help someone else in the future and it might save them what should have been a well planned weekend …

Would anybody happen to know the front seat mount torque spec? My service manual is on my laptop and it died on me. Thank you!

I did mine at 32lb-ft. They held perfect in my extreme collision into trees. Saved my life.

If you search my name and suitable words, I’ve previously posted an image from the Ford system that shows the torque. Pretty sure I still have the image on my laptop, but I’m out and only on my phone at the moment

*I removed my front passenger front seat a while ago and just checked the Torx bit size. It is a T55 and worked perfectly.

Sorry that happened but glad you are with us today. Your spec was right where the manual said. Thank you
