Really, you can't get non-metric stuff? In the US, every hardware

I'm willing to bet they don't carry BSW.

The US isn't in the EU therefore hasn't standardised on things like this.
Although I prefer UNC and UNF to Metric. But UNC and UNC aren't just US -
they were the first attempt to have standard threads between the UK and US
(and maybe others) in mainly the car industry.
