Hi Matthew
Thank you so much for your conversions. I was wondering about the hardware. From your docs, here is a bolt size:
6mm-20 x 51mm
Is this something that is easy for someone to find? Can they just go into a hardware store and easily locate this particular bolt? If I try to make a metric version for the plans, I just want to make sure everything is easily accessible, otherwise I may try modifying the designs to accommodate the hardware.

Well, I just converted it all and rounded it to the nearist unit. Then I gave the new plans to my school technician and he sorted all those bits for me so im not sure if they are easy to find in shops or not.
next time I go down to a hardware store I will try and look for the parts in my list and let you know

i looked into your conversion list and there is one thing i dont get.
The first two things on the sled list seem to be the same.
I'm no good at math but its easy to tell that these two imperial measurements cannot
be converted to the same metric.
Am i missing something out, perhaps you have changed the measurements after availability??

Hi Matthew,
Thanks heaps for the conversions,
About 35yrs ago our country (New Zealand) changed over to metric measurement as we were told that the rest of the world was going metric.
What a laugh. I'm always having to find the metric equivalents!!
Cheers,
Owen Dawe
