Don't you mean the nut behind the wheel? We all have a story to tell there. I once backed a glider trailer through a gateway and caught the drivers door on the gate post. Then there was the time I backed into the tree stump adjacent my caravan at the gliding club. Then there was the glider that I towed into the sign post, another member who towed his into the wind sock and yet another who towed a club glider into the fuel shed. Yeah, I'd say the nut behind the wheel is pretty universal.

Ya gotta understand the public service mind which I do after 40 years in it. BTW are'nt some of the aus-soaring threads interesting given that I regard you as having a similar view re human nature that I have. But I'm gunna keep my trap shut. Re our conversation on fastner disciplines I have found the only thread/bolt size on my Toyota Hiace camper van that is not metric and that is universal with most vehicles around the world. Your trivia task for the day. Where?

Regards

Exhaust straps? Part of the braking system- specifically the hydraulic lines may be SAE, perhaps the nut on the steering wheel ;-)
Dont get me started on why everything is not metric
