I have had several LBC's from the 60'2 and 70'2 but none had metric
bolts and nuts except the Lotus engine in the Jensen Healey. The rest of
that car has UNF, UNC, BSF and what have you. Maybe Vauxhall had some
metric threads after 19?? but that was basicallly Opel and later on only
rebadged Opels build in Germany.
Perhaps you are confused with the UK currency. That went metric to some
extend around that date I believe.
