Mind you, since buying an old Land-Rover, I've been pleasantly

Is it BSW and BSF mainly - or Unified? Some UK makers took ages to
finally change to Unified. Especially on engines etc which may have
been a pre-war design, basically.


UNF. Except for the bits that are metric. (1980)


Ah. That's not what most would call an old Land Rover. ;-)
