Almost every hobby shop carries it as well as hardware stores like Ace Hardware for example. Or if you want to do it on the web go to smallparts.com

How would I convert metric measurements into standard english measurements? ex. .098, .125, .155, .093

well 2.54cm = 1 inch! so is you want to get metric from standard all you have to do it multiply it. so like .155 * 25.4 = 3.937mm or .3927 cm... ylou get the jist of it? so just / it to get the opposit... 3.937 / 25.4 = .155 i have learned that math never leaves you! but english is another story...!!!

lol, I kinda get it but, I don't understand how to get the metric .155 in to the standard meaurements. My Local Hobby Shop only has brass tubing in standard measurements. not metric.
(I would multiply the number in cm by 2.54. right?)
then how would I get it into a fraction ex. 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, ect...

The way I do it in my head is to estimate the number of 1/32" increments in the decimal value. .155" is how many 1/32" (.03125). Easy estimate says about 5 - since .03 to .15 will be 5. So .155" = 5/32" or 4mm
