Title: Nintendo CP bolts, are they metric ?
Post by: Level42 on June 19, 2008, 12:31:11 pm

I noticed Nintendo used metric hardware on other places in my Radar Scope cab, does anybody know if the CP bolts are metric too ?

I'm pretty sure they are.  Seems like everything on my DK JR and Mario Bros is metric.

Yippie, that means for a change, I can get those lock bolts at my regular DIY store for a change :)

Long live the Japanese :)

Great. The CP botls are a bit small, usually the DIY chain stores only have the bigger sized one's. But there's a nice old-fashioned hardware store around here too, I'm pretty sure they'll have it...
