Default Dumb question time.

I have a UKDM Civic and need a couple of bits for it, one thing is, I cannot find a UK site for part numbers, only a US one.

My question is, do all US Civics have metric nuts and bolts the same as in the UK (and not American standard)?

It's probably the stupidest question today but I want to be certain

No, I just wanted to make sure that the part numbers for parts would be the same for US and UK (non LHD and RHD specific parts).

I know that US cars use American standard nuts and bolts.

Told you it was a dumb question

yeah, you can pretty much take a honda apart with a 10, 12, 14, 17, 19 mm sockets...ofcourse with various wrachets and exstensions...

even if you did that, it would still pull up a part(just only if the part numbers were different, then you wouldnt get the part you needed...but nonetheless would still pull up a part)

Yes hondas in the united states still use metric bolts.

As far as part numbers I believe any honda dealer can cross reference them from any of the major markets (us, uk, european, japanese ect..) but they do have different numbers for the same part.
