superdoppler Prowler Junkie From:Jacksonville, FL USA Registered: Aug 2002 Admin Use	posted 02-17-2009 09:43 AM Do I need a metric screwdriver to remove the positive cable from the battery? What size do I need? Thanks!
ed monahan POA Lifetime Site Supporter Prowler Junkie Personal ScrapBook From:Cincinnati, Oh, USA Registered: Jul 2000 Admin Use	posted 02-17-2009 10:24 AM I don't think screwdrivers come in metric. As I recall you can use a small metric wrench but I don't recall what mm you need.

alrtg POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Westminster, MD, USA Registered: Dec 2008 Admin Use	posted 02-19-2009 06:58 PM I remember when we started "converting" to the metric system. Funny thing though, it seems we never quite finished and are now left with both. I vote that we go back where we started. Either that or maybe we can start using Whitworth too. quote: Originally posted by catfish: everything went metric,in the us about 20 years ago,dont hold me to the guess.we went metric,because we were the only country in the world,not on the metric system.dumb dumb dumb.i think we again can blame it on our goverment.its way more complicated then the us,sae standards.

Randy Cobb POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Greensboro, NC Registered: Jul 2002 Admin Use	posted 02-24-2009 07:52 AM If you are removing the battery you will also need a 13mm magnetic socket with an extention to remove the nut on the hold down backet.

Randy, Since so many items are aluminum on our Prowlers, do we need to use our aluminum magnet to retrieve that nut??
Randy Cobb POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Greensboro, NC Registered: Jul 2002 Admin Use	posted 02-24-2009 03:43 PM Bradley, No.....The fiberglass magnet will do.

Dave Haggas Prowler Junkie From:united kingdom Registered: May 2007 Admin Use	posted 03-02-2009 04:07 PM You will find most of the cars on the grid at the 24HR race have a mixture of metric and imperial. This applies to cars that are new as well as seasoned cars. Amazes me really. I had to work on a 2001 F1 car recently only to find that some of the bolts were peculiar to that make of car. The manufacturer made their own sizes and equipment to fit...its a mad world out there!
