Whitworth

sized bolts and the corresponding bastard wrenches.

I'm a big fan of BBC and France 24 news from my cable provider, but both use

ears.


*Rick in Maryland USA*, and  ex-owner/driver of a MGTD, a Riley 1.5 and an
AH 100-4,

as well as a Berkeley 500 (for those well-informed of useless trivia.)
