Yeah, Dan!!  You have (seemingly) just run into a serious VDPO error.
The Whitworth AND metric nuts WILL start on a SAE bolt/stud.  They will
grab a turn to a turn and-a-half.  NOW the VDPO feels comfortable 'cause 
he/she just thinks there is a "burr" and wrenching will clear it up.

Lots of folks figured that our LBCs had either Whitworth or Metric 'cause
they came from the other side of the "pond".

Cheers and enjoy...<F>..........
