The ensuing 10 years where frustrating period for wrenching. Such a mix of metric & SAE. Drove you nuts sometimes. I can remember my dad working on something & he would complain when there was a metric fastener on something. I remember him changing what ever he could to SAE in spite of the implementation of metric. While I still enjoy the heritage of traditional size fasteners, metric sure is a lot easier provided everything on the vehicle is metric!
