So, anyone want to represent the CW contingent?
This was just a random Q that popped into my head while I was @ the hardware store getting a couple M6 bolts... -pt |

Beyond the CW issue, metric washers fit as designed, SAE washers basically don't. Quarter inch is far too big to give the design function given by 6mm, 5/16" is pretty close to 8mm, and there's nothing close to 7, 10, and 12mm. Why sacrifice function when the correct pieces are readily available. Besides, ours is the only country still using SAE hardware, and that has left the automotive sector big time. The Cap'n
