Measurement Convention:

Metric, ideally things are in 5mm increments or even numbers unless there is a specific reason

The smaller parts that are commonly tested should have easily accessible screws for quick removal, while more permanent fixtures can have slightly harder-to-reach screws. Check in the full assembly that parts can be reached
