I, along with many of my friends have owned / ridden /
wrenched on many a Triumph / BSA / Norton and none of us
ever had ''Whitworth tools''.

We were all a bunch of ignorant hacks who didn't care if
we
rounded

yeah, those Whitworth Phillips head screws used to get
rounded pretty quick.

Yep, nothing but P-heads holding those Triumph / BSA / Norton's!!!! A
miracle of engineering!

How much MORE BUSTED can Scotty and Maxi get??? Let's find out!

Y'all must be very young. By the 1960s Britian had adopted (BSS?) bolts using
US wrench sizes but with slightly different thread shapes. However, a few
Whitworth sizes were still found on accessories like carburettors, dampners and
dynamos. Six-point US box wrenches would fit all but a couple of them OK.

And anybody who's ridden / wrenched on them would know this,
unlike BB, who's limited knowledge comes from Google
searches.

Thank you. Did you read that, BB?

Max, you do realize that you're chatting with at least two sockpuppets who
are the same person right?
