    11mm converts to .433in so, 7/16 is the closest I'd guess!
    Hope this helps, Ed

    You know Bobski,
    You could always use a "metric" crescent wrench..................

    7/16 is a little loose on an 11mm, and it sometimes takes a hammer to use an 11mm on a 7-16.

    rich the improviser.(borrowed from Mudge).

    My border collie is smarter than your honor student.

    take a dremel tool with cut off wheel attached and cut a screwdriver slot across the bolt. might as well do all 4 of them and you will be prepared next time. regards dux

    If your wife is 500 miles away and is stranded, do what any red blooded man would do... Get down on your knees and cry Thank you Lord.

    7/32" =5.5mm
    5/16" =8mm
    7/16" =11mm
    1/2" =13mm (very tight)
    9/16" =14mm (loose)
    5/8" =16mm
    11/16"=17mm (loose)
    3/4" =19mm
    13/16"=21mm (tight)
    7/8" =22mm
    15/16"=24mm (loose)

    anything bigger, you'd better use the right size.

    there is no SAE equivalent for 5mm, , 6mm, 7mm, 9mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm. It is unlikely you will ever see a 20 or 23mm bolt.

    It's easy to spot liberals-they are the ones who have no assets to protect and need every handout they can get. They have forbeyed themselves ascendence to a productive lifestyle.

    cant cut a slot in the nut head. wife doesnt carry a vise or hack saw in the trunk. [:D] besides, 86 olds hubcap nuts thread on to a threaded shaft. its a genuine nut that threads down the shaft to tighten. its gotta be a deep socket to clear the shaft to get to the nut. thanks gang!
