New(er) Stuff. . . . yes, metric sizes and threads.     I believe it's called a "world market". . . . .  which really means: our jobs went to China (or wherever. . .) people are willing to work for slave wages. . . . . . .

Older Harley Stuff (Pre 1980 ish)  metric. . . .   NFW                    ALL: UNC; UNF; & UNS (as in 9/32 dia. x 32 tpi) threads & threadforms. . . . . .

Harley Davidson used 1/4 24 thread on tappet block and transmission covers for many years. I believe the last year for the 1/4 24 was on the 1975 shovelhead tappet block holes when they quit making the countersunk tappet blocks.

By this point Buddy has built a new car!  :-D

Tap was an SAE size if you read Pops mistake.
