Only a few places, mostly on the carburetors and the very few hex nuts in the
electrical system (like the starter and solenoid terminals). There are several
BA threads in the body but they mostly have slotted heads. Only exception I can
think of offhand are the "lift the dot" studs with machine threads, which have
BA threads & hex flats. The mounting studs for the small instruments appear to
be BA threads, but best I can tell, the mounting studs for the tach and speedo
are a non-standard metric thread. But all of the engine, driveline and chassis
are SAE threads, mostly NF.
Still, although there aren't many of them, the nuts on the dashpots, throttle
clamps, and float bowls need to be turned relatively frequently and using the
wrong size wrench risks rounding them off (especially the throttle clamps, which
have to be fairly tight to grip). So I do carry a small set of Whitworth
wrenches and sockets in my tool kit.
