Before we start, i have my tin hat ready and suspect some will need to take cover!
Lastnight i removed the front end from my pearl to get to a leak on the nose cone. The radshell surround and 99% of other bolts are all metric. As this was already done prior to my ownership this was out with my control, but if it were your car, would you replace with the "Correct" imperial fittings, and if so, why?
I have another seven under restoration, and i need to shortly refit all the bodywork, so do i use metric which are cost effective and easily obtained or do i go and source the imperial equivelent. My personal view is i fit metric and use the money saved on other modern upgrades such as silicone gaskets, LED lights and so on......
