Mine's a 2005 35C12 tipper with double rear wheels and leaf springs.
The front has torsion bars as springs, there's no coil or leaf spring.

Could you send an image of what you refer to?

In attachments is an image of the front leaf spring and one of the torsion bar.

There's a lot of info' about doing stuff to the front suspension.

Could you mark which part you refer to and attach the image. If it's the same on mine then I could check the size of the bolt/nuts.

Thanks, that first image is underside of box that holds transverse spring , it shows bolts needed to remove bottom plate, what I need is bolts that hold box to chassis, they are get attable from each wheel arch, I think four bolts and maybe three torx each side, I cant send pics as not that hot on computer !! better with other stuff.
If you email me I can email pic of complete box, sending you pm. with email address. cheers

ishmire@yahoo.co.uk The max attachment size is 25mb for Yahoo but about 20mb actually works - this forum has an attachment size of 200kb of which less than 100kg seems to work ok.
Mobile phones usually have a smaller file size for an image than a digital still/video camera.
If you need to find out the size of the image on your computer let me know.
The format .jpg is usually the smallest as is mp4 for videos.
Videos and images can be uploaded to gdrive or dropbox or similar from where they can be accessed this is sometimes referred to as sending it to the cloud.
Images can also be sent via email providing they are of a small enough file size.

Some more images for you to look at in attachments, this is similar to the other but clearer. I have not seen any bolts holding the leaf spring box to the chassis, Iveco have a great ability to not show everything.

Search for: front transverse leaf spring on the forum. Some images on google images. The last attachment is from google, do you intend to take out the whole thing?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives

There's torx and polydrive in the dirt/dark they look much the same. Torx have rounded tips to the spline. Polydrive are squared off.

Torx can fit the polydrive but there'll be damage.

There's also Ribe RM sizes which may be similar to the polydrive.
PRO183 http://www.clarketooling.co.uk/tools/Screwdrivers__Bits___Hex_Key_Sets.html

There are sockets and bit drives long and short. There are also the security sockets and bit drives.
There's now a plethora of different fasteners/nuts bolts screws.
