Whitworth wrench sizes correspond to the nominal diameter of the fastener -
ie, a 1/2" wrench fits the head of a standard BSF or BSW screw or bolt. Of
course if the head is NOT standard, then...
But who'd ever expect anything non-standard on a British car???
And if you want even more sources for British Standard tools, try Moss or any
of the standard parts sources who sell older MG parts - MGTC's and prior had
Whitworth and BSF pretty much throughout.
