@futurebird Cars are manufactured by different makers, using different parts that can’t be used on other cars. Some are imperial, some are metric. But there is one part that can be reused on any car (and bicycle)…the lowly Schrader valve. It keeps the air in your tires. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrader_valve
