What are Torx-Plus fasteners used on?

[MadMark]

After reading Nato's thread on T27 fasteners I had to ask what Torx-Plus are used for.
These are the Torx Bits with the thicker points.
If this was answered in an earlier thread, please post a link.

Might be good to list the applications for each Torx size

Between the two types of Torx Plus, i know of:

Bosch MAF sensors, BMW Vanos cam pullies, Mustang gearboxes, Cummins John Deere & Stanadyne injector pumps, GM bell housings, Ford transfer cases, Ford seatbelt anchors and Mercedes-Benz wing mirrors.

One of those new style Torx bits has 5 points instead of 6.

Torx Plus are 6-lobe, Torx Plus Tamperproof are 5-lobe.

Moose is right, torx plus are 6 point, but thicker for strength.
We should do another thread for the 5 point torx tamper-proof.

There are also E-Torx Plus, i have one for use on GM and BMW valve bodies. Some GMs use them for seat hold-down bolts and Nissan use them for cylinder head bolts and flywheel & torque converter bolts.
