That's lucky - it took me far too long to find a couple of integers that worked
OK (never had fractions on my scientific calculator)!

I've not tried to get 5/16".  I expect the vintage boys may know a source, but
certainly a lot of manufactured things are metricated - maybe most of them.  I
know 8mm is available as I got some a few years ago for an emergency repair for
the brake reservoir hose, but changed it for the correct blue hose when I got
home.  The problem is that it seems to have a rather thick OD.
