Im still looking for Whitworth wrenches to start a restoration of a 1961
Royal Enfield motor bike.

A lad brought over some Land Rover tools..about 7 wrenches..but only one
was BSF..and I need a bunch more. So I gave him a decent 1" mic and he
was happy. Now Ive got a bunch of Land Rover AF wrenches that do me
little good...sigh

Anyways..Im still looking! Prefer Combination wrenches, and sockets.
They dont need to be matched sets! Just from 3/16 up through 1/2
Whitworth!

Swap, Trade, buy!!

Just out of passing interest...

It looks like $nap-On only carries Whitworth wrenches these days... they
had 3/8" drive sockets until not too long ago...

The Whitworth stuff listed as "British Standard" on their web site.
