Metric Torque Wrench?

[CHPBike]

Short of buying a new torque wrench(s), is there a conversion published from foot/inch pounds to metric?

What do others do?

Thanks Rob! That should work just fine.

Also IBMWR has some info on the site as well.

If you are going the DIY route, I'd suggest picking up a Clymer manual. In addition to many groovy pictures they also have all the torque specs in "american" and "metric"

Scott,
Here is a Windoze based conversion program. I downloaded it and installed it about 6 months ago. Works great on Win-98 and Win-XP.
I was surprised at how often I actually use it. It has LOTS of conversion tables built in.

If you do purchase a new wrench, make sure you get the left handed mode attachment. They come in handy.:p

I found this to be the best deal in a torque wrench.
