There are some things I'd just as soon "stay." People think metric is so "standard." Well some of it "ain't." The Japanese products have their favorite thread pitches, the French have theirs and if you try and stock a few bolts that just doesn't work

Pipe/ tube fittings. There IS NO standardization that I can see.

And at my age I'd still just as soon "think" in terms of miles, mph, mpg and not buy "leetrees" of anything.

Learned that from Yamaha snowmobiles there is metric fine thread metric course and metric yamaha if you need a bolt for your Yamaha go see a dealer. I always thought bearings where made to specific diamentions ie. a 6205 was a 6205 no matter what language u spoke NOT TRUE measure them try get a metric bearing on an imperial shaft. Leads to the question WTF
