I don't remember what the larger sizes use off the top of my head, though. I do know that some newer cars are using 18mm for some fasteners. That made me grumpy when I found that on my wife's car's brakes... I didn't have any 18s and had to run out and get one.

Thanks. BTW, I needed a 14mm for some of the bolts inside the cabin and in the engine compartment. I have also needed the 10mm quite a bit.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
