Ah yes. Exceptions.
For example, the thread on the posts that hold the gauges into the dash
of my '75 B is some sort of BSF (standard fine did *not* work). When
one of the nuts holding my speedo disappeared while I was trying to
reinstall, I had to search out the owner of a T-series MG to help me
out. No local parts places where helpful, and the import auto shop was
only able to direct me to the aforementioned owner.
I think the filler plugs on my Armstrong levers are BSF too, but I
cannot be sure.
