Spanner sizes

Post by bigginger »

I lay no claim to these being 100% accurate, but I trust the sources. Where possible, I'll do my best to check them too, but since I don't own a car (just LCVs) I won't be able to do them all. PM me if you have any that aren't here already :D

Everyone should remember though where Whitworth is mentioned this is only the Spanner size - if you are replacing the fixings these threads are BSF (British Standard Fine) which is 1 size larger than Whit. i.e. 5/16BSF thread uses a 1/4W spanner size.
