Can someone convert M14 x 1.5 into standard like i think the 1.5 is 1/2 but what is 14???

Thanks

you cant do that with thread pitch. sorry

besides, SEA is not a good thread system. it's too corse and can cause bolts to come undone by vibration.

metric is much finer and can hold better.

It must suck that the USA still uses imperial threads instead of international standard (metric)

I say that because almost all vehicles manufactured today use metric bolts and nuts.

Hell.... I bet you even have a hard time just finding a set of metric wrenches and sockets.

If you need a metric bolt.... let me know.... although we still use lots of imperial stuff up here in Canada most bolt shops have a good selection of metric bolts.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time or anything..... I'm just saying that it must suck for you guys when it comes to sourcing metric bolts, nuts, tools

its not hard to get metric here at all. any where that sells standard tools also has metric, same with 99% of nut and bolt shops.

most everything in the states is metric and has been since the late 80's. old men and guys that grew up around old "muscle" insist on SEA bolts and wrenches "cause it's american!"
