Dear All,
This quotation:
Just got done building a carcass for a Sysport and use all metric
dimensions for its construction. I could not believe how much easer it
was to use metric over imperial measurements. I never realized how
frustrating and inaccurate Imperial measurements are. It was much
easer and quicker to do all measurements in just millimeters. No
fractions, on inches vs Feet etc. Just how many millimeters something
is.
So for me it is good by to fractions, no more 3/16th or 7/8th or 3/4
of an inch for me, I'am a metric convert.
Now I wish the rest of the United states would finish, the conversion
to Metric, they started back some thirty years ago.
