That is my plan. I've got a few largish imperial spanners that sometimes
come in handy for plumbing but I've never sat down and worked out
exactly what I should be looking for. It only occurs to me when I'm
stood in field and see a nice big box of old tools :-(

If you check the site I gave earlier you can convert the actual across
flats measurement into what BSF etc spanners are marked as. So you know
what to look out for.
