    Metric hardware for these Euro LSA's

    A quite a few of the LSA manufacturers (that I have been coming across) are in the Czech Republic. Now if an E-LSA no worries, but if S-LSA and the owner intends to keep the S-AWC we are limited on what parts will 'fly'... I may be wrong, I've been doing this for a couple of years now and I am...
