I cant believe that a designer decided that 9 mm would be too weak

A layer of rust making a 9mm bolt oversize


Nope. Definitely 9.5mm


Nope, definitely 3/8"

Briggs are Yankee - its all imperial


Well I guess it is 3/8 after all. Just seems odd that so many
of the engine bolts seem to be metric but not these ones.


Bet they aren't metric either, just the one that has
the same spanner for metric and non metric.
