        SAE vs. METRIC as it relates to the British automotive industry.


        Any comments?

Next time, just go on in there and keep muttering 'Whitworth' over and over
again.  This will at least cause them to remember that your car isn't metric.

But seriouly, it isn't really SAE either, is it?  Anybody have a short disourse
about fasteners?

I know someone must.  After all, this is a *British* car group, and the Britissh

about esoterica.
