These cars were all designed and tooled before England switched over to
metric. Remember, England is where we got this $#(*$&@^ SAE system
from.
Another tool that comes in REAL handy is those box end wrenches with
the S-curved handles and the swivel socket end wrenches. I end up using
those quite a bit.
Hard rubber and soft metal mallets are also useful. But place them in a drawer
with a key so you can't use them on impulse ;^) Another good suggestion is
to put a brittish car joke book in the same drawer with the hammers or
"persuaders" as my buds always called them.
