that metric time link is funny, what a thing to get used to THAT would be.
thing that surprised me was working on a '05 Ford Ranger seemed some of it
was metric (which surprised me greatly) and some is standard. jeez! i was
fumbling with sockets and wrenches trying to figure out which was which.
seems easier if they'd make it ALL standard or ALL metric.


Cars have been largely metric for over 20 years, now! The only imperial
bolt-head I know of on my 1998 Dodge Ram van is the oil drain plug. Oh,
yeah, the lug
nuts are the other imperial fastener on there. Everything
major in the inside is either 8 or 10 mm or a Torx fastener.
