<VV> Fuel Leak / lug nuts

[Hugo Miller]

Why would they use such an obscure bolt size? I don't think I've ever seen
an 11/32" bolt in my life. Why didn't they just use 3/8"? Is there some 
obscure engineering reason for it?
I've never dismantled a Corvair engine, but I do know that GM products
generally keep things as simple as possible. Also that's an extremely small
size, if you're talking about the bolts that hold the flywheel to the crank.

Obviously I had switched to bolt head size.  11/32 bolt size - flywheels are
the only thing I think I've ever seen use that.

Coils and starter solenoids?  I can't remember but I've used that size in
the last week for sure.

11/32"? When did you last see one of those!
