Another memory: The early Morris Minor cars (split windscreen, sidevalve
engine) had mostly BSF threads, but the gearbox had Metric fine threaded
bolts. I could go on!!!

Nuffield group used oddities for some things - cycle threads with BSF
hexes. Could be those threads are close to metric fine. First really
noticed them as big end bolts on an MG XPAG engine.
