Ah, no, no Whitworth tools, I like bleeding knuckles too much. Ah, yes, owned a Triumph TR-4. Went to night school to learn engineering from Sirs Healey and Austin. Sir Lucas has a degree in Austin and Healey but also studied under the Marquis de Sade.
As far as UNC and BA, if SAE or Metric doesn't fit, it's time to drill and tap : ).
No, guys (and ladies), it's the perfect hobby for me. I lose the beast except for throwing things and of course what I throw is either very expensive to replace or not of this world but planted here by alien beings out to drive me completely over the edge.
To be fair, the Healey is the "Swiss watch" of English cars. When they are running right, they are a delight to drive.
I got this one at a screaming price but as does come with screaming prices, too many AMERICAN mechanics with no clue as to dos and don'ts have had at her. I've run out of counting what they did wrong to her.
Spy. Gov has my computer so screwed up I can't post pictures but will as soon as I completely overhaul my computer. Well, as much as I can with them throwing spanners in the works.

Nothing as satisfying as an adjustable wrench careening across the workshop in a hail of curses!
I'm a VW Beetle man myself, but I need these goddamned kids to hurry up and move out so I can afford to finish this '58 split window I have been hoarding for six years...
