Even here in Canada your cousins have been metric since 1978 (even though the ferry cashiers want to know how many feet long my truck is . .), and you might as well get used to the idea that SAE won't be around forever if the US wants to keep exporting its product. Does anyone remember British Standard Whitworth (BSW)? And how about those 9/16-16TPI head bolts on your flathead Harley? Even so, I have several sets of taps and dies, and I can have my way with threads. Except maybe this one . . 1951 3800 Be the change you want to see. -hotshoe
