Imperial or Metric?

[Lutz]

What kind of screws, bolts etc are used on a Cerb, imperial, metric or a wild mixture of the two?
Thinking of getting the tool set to do the most basic work when byuing a Cerb
Thnaks for your help...

All of the stuff I've come across so far is metric, you'd be wise to invest in a decent set of allen key bits too

One of the good things to come out of Europe IMHO.
Is the metric (ISO) thread system. Primarily two threads (fine and coarse) with a 60 degree thread form. Usually in 1.0mm size steps.

Now the old English system was / is (still for the classic car guy's) a bl**dy nightmare, about 20 different thread forms, about 6 difference types of spanners required to fit them all.

Metric ISO system. OH
