Whitworth tools, I had forgotten about those bolts.Ah, So you are quite familiar with Whitworth tools? I might even still have one or two buried in an old box somewhere. I was watching some You Tube show where they were restoring a British armored vehicle of some sort and they actually needed Whitworth tools on some of the parts. Can you imagine being out in the field without the proper tool kit and needing those tools? I can't tell you haw many Whitworth bolts I came across that were all chewed up from Vice grips and pipe wrenches because nothing else fit.
Of note was told by a 70-year-old mechanic I was working for that British cars would make a mechanic out of a preacher to include all of the famous verbiage that mechanics utilize when they get mad.Whitworth tools, I had forgotten about those bolts.
I swear they were a cross between Metric and SAE, not to mention the difference in thread.
I have seen nuts welded to the bolt to be able to remove, only in hidden areas of the car of course.
