A little OT trivia about French metric, until 1968 they used their own
metric system for small screws < M6.
Right... That explains a lot.
I'm having the same problems getting M5 for my
Citroen DS from 1967...when
I've not looked, can you still get the tap and die in the right pitch?
If not, M5 is large enough in diameter to be not too difficult to
screwcut on a lathe. I guess that would be OK if you need 1 or 2 of them,
less fun if you need 100.
