Err yes. The front of the factory manual warns that there are a few
metric bolts and nuts in the RB models. The only BSF bolts
are in the gearbox internals. I'm least likely to fiddle with the
internals of the gearbox than just about anything else. So
when working on a rubber bumper MGB,
I would be more likely to need a metric wrench than one of
my BSF/Whitworth wrenches. YMMV.
