He answered it elsewhere.

On the subject of 'metric cars' the first true metric Holden would be the TX Gemini which had metric bolts for all of the body & mechanicals except for the diff (B-W) & optional Tri-Matic auto. The next metric car was the VB Commodore which was all metic except Engine, Transmissions & Diff. 48(FX)-WB & Toranas were basically imperial with very few exceptions. The odd exceptions are the Opel & Torquemaster manual gearboxes & the 1900 Opel motor. All FWD Holdens are metic
