If you're new to T types a word of caution about the bolts.
These bolts use Whitworth head sizes. That's NOT metric or US.
You MAY be able to get by by using a combination of SAE or metric
wrenches. For example, I believe the backing bolts are 5/16
Whitworth (3/8 BSF is the same) head size. A 15 mm wrench is
0.009 thousands smaller and may fit if the wrench manufacturer
used loose tolerances. A 5/8 AF (US) wrench is 0.025 larger and
probably won't grip well.
DON'T LOSE ANY OF THE BOLTS OR NUTS. The threads are either
metric, or British Standard Fine (BSF), I don't remember which.
The metric pitch, 8 x 1.00 is hard to find, and the BSF can only
be found from T type parts sources. A metric bolt MAY sometimes
fit, but it will have a different sized head which will making
servicing again more of a hassle.
