Imperial and metric

[nexus.1]

Hi,

I have an x6, a x6 squared and an x6 Cubed I need to replace some of the old screws under the chasis of the cars and was going to use stainless one's. Most of the screws are still imperial and I would like to change them to metric so does anyone know if the threads are the same pitch or am I going to end up threading half of the holes?

Thanks all.

Don't use stainless steel, they will strip in no time. Use 10.9 steel.

If its going into plastic in it shouldn't be much of a problem but anything metal will work.

I would leave the screws imperial.

Try Dms racing as they do a brand called DDP that do torx head imperial screw and as far as i can remember they used to do a screw kit for the X6 sq in torx head-imperial.
