spanner size vs nut size

[pablo]

ever wondered what size nut an M12 was? or what nut to buy for a bolt that takes a 17mm socket?

heres a quick list of the main ones:

M4 7mm
M5 8mm
M6 10mm
M8 13mm
M10 17mm
M12 19mm
M16 24mm

prob useless info but might come in handy.

Except most of the ricers use different size heads.

I was just about to say that - a lot of car bolts are 'special'.

Useful guide notheless

In general that's handy pablo
most jap cars will use a 12mm head instead of a normal 13mm
also some will have metric fine threads.

if you are the sort of person who has to refer to a chart/ table of sizes before picking up a spanner then you shouldnt be allowed to own tools!

IMHO

If you can't spend a month without water or food, then you shouldn't go for a walk in the countryside!

So thats why the country's getting fat, no ones walking any more!
