I agree and use what I have laying around in the garage. No shopping or ordering things. My engine riser is made of plastic. lol. During my build I made my own crankshaft holding tool and flywheel puller for my PVL flywheel, again with material I already had on hand.
I was talking to my Dad about going to buy bolts for my engine mounts, "Oh I have some of those", he said.
I put them on, then took them off, I didn't use them as they were SAE, like you, I want to keep it metric.
As far as the risers, I made my own, I hate drilling holes though, my bits always go dull before the first hole, perhaps I should discover the wonders of cutting fluid? So I just hacked holes in it with my angle grinder, quick and dirty, but functional.
That riser plate weighs much more than a couple 1" square tubing.
But I like to make my own sh...er crap if I can, everything is my own fault.
