Art,I "gave" a good set of Whitworth tools away to the guy who bought my '52
MGTd
in 1975. Looking back, I realize that was not very smart. Thankfully, though,
I
haven't needed anything but the afore mentioned "good ole US tools" on my Spit.
Unfortunately, I had to invest in a set of "bad ole Metric" tools to work on
every
US car I have. GO FIGURE!
