Metric Or Imperial ??

[valleyman]

Hello People
Can anyone tell me if the nut & bolt sizes are metric or imperial on my EP3 ?
Some of you may think this is a stupid question but the reason I'm asking is because I've just tried to fit a strut brace, but the nuts on top of the struts are to big for a 13mm socket and a little bit to small for a 14mm.
Just wondered if anyone else has had the same problem. The nuts are not stripped, they look new

It's metric, but you could try 9/16.

yeah, think only the americans use imperial now days. sounds stupid but it could be 13.5mm, we have sockets like that at work. On a more helpful note ill check my bolts now

14mm fits fine for me, maybe your socket is slightly worn

My bad with the sizing there, it's 17/32. Only I don't think I've ever seen one! Try a 13mm 18 point socket if you're on a 6 hex.

9/16 was close enough

Thanks guys. Turned out to be a worn socket after all 14mm it is
