If it's even happened, when was the last time you could buy an American car and only need one socket set?

Would a Japanese vehicle, manufactured in Japan, be 100% metric?

My 1990 Nissan 240sx was 100% metric. It was great too

1965 Rambler Classic 550 station wagon.

Only needed a standard set, no metric on the car that I found. Was a cool first car, other then the carb needing to be rebuilt every 300 miles even though I had 3 fuel filters on it.

my 98 camaro is 100% metric.

Actually Glenn I don't think it is. I'm pretty sure the driveshaft and rear end components are standard....been a while since I've rebuilt a 10 bolt but I didn't think it was metric.

D/S strap bolts are 11mm. diff cover can be 1/2" or 13mm. and carrier bolts are 9/16" or 15mm.
worked on many F-bodies? :leaving:

Forkin not lately. To busy with these damn 2 seater things.

Not to worry though...I'll have it done this year.


And whats this either or stuff? It either fits or it doesn't

Like why throw in 2 torx bolts on the drivers side shock tower and have all 4 be hex bolts on the passenger side?

And aren't the 4 hex bolts 1/2" bolts? It was only last weekend, but I've done so much since then that I hardly recall. I think the stock lugs (using the lock adapter) are 3/4".

Remember some cross over(kinda) I know there are other's but off the top of my head...

7/32-7mm
1/2-13mm
9/16-14mm
3/4-19mm

So is it really all standard or metric?

yeah, but are you really gonna buy a x/32 set just to be able to use it on metrix?

No, i just happen to have one! Don't know were i came from. And it's made in japan

Let's not forget the difference between european metric and asian metric sizing/ standards. No wonder I need a second toolbox.

The 8 bolts on top the shock towers are all metric. The studs and lug nuts are also all metric although a 3/4" socket works as well.
