Clayton:
Agreed. It is unlikely that anything would be Whitworth that
late in the production of the B. Although my Mini-cooper was a '74, and
it was an interesting mix of Imperial, Metric, and Whitworth. Sigh.
Buggered a few nuts trying to put metric on Imperial, and vice versa.
Doh!
At this point I am inclined to agree with the others, your
torque wrench may be mis-calibrated - I have seen it before, especially
the cheapie Chinese ones.

The fit Is correct. This is a 79 B so I don't think the threads are
Whitworth
