[GreenKeys] Weird hardware size

[John, W9DDD]

In reality, I've had a set of metric tools like forever.  But, generally 
its just a case of taking something apart and then back together with 
the same hardware, so I can't recall having to look for metric nuts and 
bolts.  There are plenty in all the stores here.  I've just never needed 
any.
