I am so glad to see that its not just an Aussie thing to stuff up perfectly good systems with home grown 'improvements' which invariably screw everything up. 
Like I say 'we are a stupid species' how we ever evolved beyond the other apes is beyond me.
That is assuming we are actually more evolved than other animals. We may just be doing all this work for the benefit of other animals. Which particular species will all depend upon which theory you subscibe to via which movie.
The Torx with the pin is a security fastener, well at least until Torx with pin bits and sets become readily available at your local hardware supplier or supermarket hardware section.
I do like the sound of making Hayes Bumpers from old rail sections as a Maintenance dude I find myself reusing various things for different purposes. A round galvanised fence post with a flat bar welded on has become a lifting spreader bar for lifting outdoor seats with concrete bases to cycle through the workshops for rejuvenation. It was available [and free], in the right length, at the right time and with a bit of lateral thinking it was reusable for a different purpose.
