maybe in Germany this is the case but it is certainly not the case around the world. Metric is not the only measurement system.
Freaky, someone else used this argument not long back but that person said “in the real world people use AF” with a little research I found that only 3 countries still use the AF system 2 are third world countries, England still uses miles, feet, pints and gallons but also uses meters, litres, and kilos so something like 98% of the world uses metric not just Germany, the French in 1799 introduced the metric system mètre des Archives -kilogramme des Archives, so if you can’t find these common bolts in the US or Canada then the world is your oyster I would suggest ebay.co.uk but postage will be expensive or you could try Mexico or Argentina postage should be much less or as Ex-pat has said twice Amazon
