Subject: [TR] Whitworth Wrenches on a TR3?
First, being relatively new to the TR3 line, I am noticing some of the bolt=
s
don't match up to my SAE wrenches. I have had to use metric on occasion.
Haven't had this issue on the 4, 6 or 8. Are these Whitworth sized bolts
and nuts which would mean I should invest in a set of those wrenches? I
always like a new tool but want to check first.
