Threads Metric or Imperial?
Discussion
In the middle of chassis off project, have brought a bolt kit for chassis but there are other bolts and nuts I wish to replace at the same time and was going to order a range of nuts etc., so as rebuilding can replace according. Can anyone confirm if the car was built with metric or imperial nuts and bolts?
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
