Metric OCD
Being German made, the fasteners in our cars are metric.
How important is it (to you) to maintain an all metric car? Not regarding replacement fasteners, but when there is a non-compromising situation.
For example, I've added an electrical junction panel for seat-heaters/usb-charger/dash-cam, relay box for headlights, speaker grills, etc. These are fresh additions, so choice of fasteners and fabrication dimensions, are open. But, I try to keep it all metric. Instead of 1/4" fasteners (that I have on hand), I'll go out and buy 6-mm. When deciding hole spacing, I'll measure out 50-mm instead of 2", etc.
Is it just me? I actually annoy myself.
