Late 70's GM automobiles were the first vehicles I remember having metric and SAE fasteners. ... The collective groan from mechanics could be heard coast-to-coast back then. This was almost 30 years ago, and people are still groaning.



My father was leading the GM changeover to metric in the 70's. I'm glad to see that he's remembered!

"...that I am taking Anony's advice and NOT thinking about buying the new 1225R anymore! I am changing sports to something simpler-- canoeing."}

Fresnobuell:

Hey, I am just following Anony's advice.

I believe it to be the soundest advice yet by Anony--and we all know how great the insight has been thusfar.

And if he gives it to everybody who asks a question about the bike, they will sell a bunch of these things...what a marketing strategy!

I suspect Buell will come out soon with a complete line of canoes to take advantage of all of the customers they gave this advice to.

I had a 72 Pinto - engine made in Brazil.

All the stuff that touched the block was metric - everything else was fractional.

Nothing new.

Something "new" would be that a domestic vehicle would come out all metric or all SAE. Revolutionary even.

Is there such a thing as a Whitworth Torx Button head cap screw?
