OK, not the solenoid exactly but I put on a new one tonight and would like to know, why would they put 12mm nuts on an LBC solenoid?

JP;

You are in Canada now.
If anyone can explain why we have the metric system, then your problem will become crystal clear.

I'm sorry if this is a little political!
