Read carefully..... Could the 2 millimeter rule be having an effect? http://www.umich.edu/~newsinfo/MT/95/Oct95/mt4o95.html
With Detroit's conversion to metric back in the 70's, the Auto Body Consortium in conjunction with NIST adopted the 2 millimeter tolerance rule. This procedure allows for tighter tolerances in manufacturing affecting "Fit and Finish", a major quality complaint from buyers of American made cars. The point is that this standard is wholly metric. I figured people would get that from reading the articles. There is also information on the NIST web site about it as well but I was unable to find the reference again.
