I changed my fuel pump this week and the flange screws were metric and not SAE, this surprised me, anyone have any thoughts.

They should have been a 10-32 if memory serves.

They shouldn't have been metric.
Somebody may have stripped the threads and re-tapped them metric. 10-32 and M5 are awfully close to the same. 10-32 is .19" dia and M5 is .2" dia. so the M5 is roughly .010" bigger.

This must be the case, they threaded in perfectly. Thanks for the explanation.
