[QUOTE="-CN-, post: 409772, member: 18939"] Where do you even find a SAE nut or bolt on equipment anymore? My mind and eyes are trained in metric. It's from beginning my wrenching career on Japanese and European motorcycles. And then owning cars from Asia. Whenever I've done work on Pontiacs and Fords too, all the hardware was metric. I think the only time SAE comes into play is when you buy nuts and bolts at a hardware store. I am frustrated that the US has been too stubborn to change to a modern and universal system. Metric just makes more sense. Not that fractions are difficult, they're just stupid and unnecessary when you compare it to numerical whole number scale. [/QUOTE]
