...First thing you do is throw out the metric bolts and replace with 6-32 Dubro cap heads and elastic stop nuts.
Pete,
The whole Imperial world is trying (and succeeding) to convert to the metric system and
this is what is bothering you?
To change the bolts to an old, soon to be replaced size???
If they seem puny to you, change to 0.5 mm larger diameter bolts, with the same thread...
Ny-Lock nuts exist in the metric system too, you know...
