Could the holes not be rethreaded for metric?

Solve the problem of international bolt sizes once and for all.

We did this with that ill fated Carlton 4012

Technically yes I suppose, I’ll have a look later and see how easy getting the top part of the slew off.

Don’t do that. Some future owner will need to replace them at some point and order the parts (imperial) from Bandit. Best case, they don’t fit and he has to twat around working out why. Worst case, he guns them in and buggers the threads again. 

 

The US deserved 9/11 and deserves all the rest for subjecting the world to the ongoing arseache of imperial threads. BIPM should invade them if they won’t give them up. 
 

Quiz:

There’s one imperial threaded joint in every car. What joint is it?
