[Mg-t] cars2 the movie

[Lew Palmer]

What "indignity of Whitworth"?, indeed.

There are precious few British cars that ever used Whitworth threads (or
BSW), as that is a coarse thread pitch but is commonly confused with British
Standard Fine (BSF). 

The T-series cars used fine thread metric in most of the engine and BSF
through most of the rest of the car. Earlier cars used mostly BSF and later
ones used SAE (often called Unified).

Cheers,
Lew Palmer

What "indignity of Whitworth"?  Indignity is metric in my GMC and Ford
vehicles.

just got home from the movie (and dinner)

great movie, but especially because it mentions lucas electrics, british
cars (if there's no oil under them, there's no oil in them) and
whitworth!!!!!!!  a joke undoubtedly lost on most people, but heart warming
to those of us who have suffered the indignity of whitworth in our vehicles
