Tony, Carriers built in Canada are CMPs. They are built with BSF threads. The parts book identifies as being built with metric plate. I believe that Ford of Canada made BSF bolts with American head and nut sizes.
That guy in 2045 is Correct!
I have since found that the floor in my Canadian hull is 3/16" (a bit less than 4.0 mm)

As an aside most cars are made with 7/16" UNF seat belt anchorages.

Actually 3/16" = 4.7625mm
5/32" = 3.96875mm

It was normal practice in the UK in WW2 to specify armour plate in mm. Also spark plugs were generally metric here by then too.

Just as Cliff I am by origin a scale modeller.....and that's why I have the measurements of the C60X tanks written down in millimeters as that's the language my hobby tape measurer speaks.

But I do apologize for this stupid mistake and will accept the proper punishment.
