Thanks! Why can't there be an industry standard? Like everyone use Metric or everyone use SAE?

While I'm talking, that can go for just about everything, like car parts, oil filters, air filters, belts, hoses, tires....

Since we seem to be standing at a wishing well, why not wish for standardized battery ratings while we're at it?

Castle, I appreciate that you're using all metric hardware.

Well, there's something close to a world standard. And no, it's not "standard" hardware.

To quote TMichaels' signature from the FSAE forum:
"- Three nations have not officially adopted the International Metric System of Units as their primary or sole system of measurement: Liberia, Myanmar and the United States.
- 1 Inch was defined to be the thumb width of Heinrich, I., King of England.
- Later 1 Inch was redefined to be the length of 3 barleycorns by Eduard, II., King of England.
- 0˚F were defined by Fahrenheit in the harsh winter of 1708/1709 as he thought that it is impossible to become colder than this
- 100˚F were defined by Fahrenheit to be the normal temperature of the human body. Obviously he had fever, when measuring his own body temperature to define his scale."
