Art,
What you say sounds correct. However, many if not all of the SU
carbuerators and the fuel line fittings of the British cars I have
worked on, do use Whitworth fasteners!!!!
Anyone planning to work on their SU's, especially those with the
threaded fastners on the fuel lines (as opposed to the press fit rubber
fuel lines as used in the 1959 and later TRs), should have at least the
four following sizes; 1/4W, 5/16W, 3/8W, and 7/16W. These were available
from Sears in the past but are probably now available only from the
speciality tool suppliers; i.e., Snap-On, etc.
