Gunner I seem to remember, from my days with a Royal Enfield, that there were a few imperial size wrenches (maybe 1/2", 7/16") that fitted, or fit well enough, and that (I think) uneven 64th inch sized fitted some others. Mike a few nuts and see. I certainly didn't have any whitworth tools and I managed to completely overhaul the engine. http://www.samstagsales.com/whitworth_table.htm |
