Yes I am sure, and here is a couple more, the starter motor bolts on a pre 85 900 are actually 3/8 unc!, The lower front shock abs nut is 11/16 af. As for removing the sump bung, use a good 6 point 12mm socket and tap on with a copper hammer, if that fails a pair of stillsons on the spot face of the bung may work, if that fails weld a ring spanner to the nut, if that fails pay my air fair to the states and I will get the bugger out. As an aside during my thirty years working on saab's, I have come across ten or more 9000's where the boss where the sump bung goes in has been cracked due to overtightening to prevent a oil drip when all was needed was to fit a new washer.
