Unfortunately, he could buy a whole new scoot for the price of
shipping a few heavy steel tools here from Oz, Grumps. Hell, "they"
get $20USD for shipping a mere paperback book from there. It's one of

Gunner,

I've got some Whitworth stuff if I can find it. I've had some of
these wrenches for 40 years. I'll be in touch if I can lay my sweaty
paws on any of 'em.

V

I have a one-way tool policy, They come in but they never go out, inless
somehow i have 3 of something I can only use one of.
Ebay is your friend, or buy new. I bought sockets and wrenches new so as not
to screw up the fasteners. I did good on Ebay for taps and dies.

Whitworth screwdrivers, crescent wrenches and the like. And maybe a
Whitworth crosspoint screwdriver and a Stillson (pipe wrench)

I take it you havent followed the Royal Enfield thread?

Im getting an elderly Royal Enfield 700 up and running and have been
running into tool size incompatibilty, so I need spanners, ring
spanners, sockets and whatever I can find to losen and tighten Whitworth
fasteners without chewing them up.

here once was a frog named Whitworth
who liked to sit on a britworth
one day he slipped wrench
because of his bench
and now he is stuck in the snitworth

Just go down to your Sears store - they have them right there in the
store, don't even need to do a catalog order. At least they did in '59
or '60 when I bought a '53 MG-TD and needed Whitworth wrenches for it.

More amazing is that the Sears store was in Youngstown, Ohio - the home
of maybe 2 MG's. Wait, maybe that was a Pittsburgh Sears. But even
Pittsburgh didn't have enough English cars to justify Sears carrying
those wrenches. Not just a couple of sets, either: individual sockets,
box ends, etc.

Sears' good old days.

Aw, that's too bad. You could probably get started by buying some cheap
hand wrenches (the kind that don't fit anyway) and grinding them out a
bit to fit the next higher size.

But a Whitworth crescent wrench -- that's hard. It uses a special thread
form on the screw an rack that can only be machined on a British lathe
using special adapters hand-built by gnomes in Scotland.

So I guess you'll have to find the real deal, eh?

A good Australian friend brought us our very own jar of Vegemite -
probably for his use while here. That stuff is not one of life's
wonderful experiences. Is it good for removing paint? I do see
it in a very few stores, we must be getting more Australians.

Crikey! Isn't that ridiculous? I paid $13 and change for delivery of
a muscle stim unit from England, and it was only 4 ounces. Aussie
parcels are triple that while Chinese parcels are only 1.5 times the
normal in-country fees. Go figure. They're both the same distance

I'll bet that's fun in Customs! I had fun in Customs from Mexico
once. I brought back some coral (before I knew better) and when the
agent opened my suitcase, the stench forced him to close it and wave
me through without further search. I could have smuggled in a couple
kilos of goods without fuss that day.

All this reminds me of the joke I heard last week:

--snip--
A car gets a flat on the interstate one day.

The blonde driver eases it over onto the shoulder
of the road, carefully steps out of the car and opens the trunk.

She takes out two cardboard men, unfolds them and
stands them at the rear of the vehicle facing oncoming traffic.

The lifelike cardboard men are in trench coats
exposing their nude bodies and private parts to approaching drivers.
Not
surprisingly, the traffic becomes snarled and backed up.

It isn't very long before a police car arrives.

The officer, clearly enraged, approaches the blonde
of the disabled Vehicle yelling, ' What's going on here?'

'My car broke down, officer' says the woman calmly.

'Well, what the heck are these obscene cardboard
pictures doing here by the road?' he asks.

'Helllooooooo!!! !' says the blonde.

'Those are my emergency flashers!'

Having experienced both for some years I agree on the qualities of the
smell and taste of bacon but definitely disagree on which version is
best, makes for an interesting world. I much prefer the English stuff
and Danish and prefer smoked bacon. The Dutch have "spek" which is fatty
like US bacon but tends to be sliced much thinner.

The problem is that you are looking for crosspoint screwdrivers
which look like a plus sign. Whitworth crosspoints look like an X.
