Never seen Whitworth or BSF in there.
It's been a long time since Whitworth or BSF was used on cars. But Unified (UNF and UNC) was the common standard though the fifties, sixties and seventies. Using AF spanner sizes.

My Halfords set has both. However it is so old it doesn't even have Halfords written on it. Bit of a bugger really because they wouldn't exchange the socket that split - not that they had a six point to exchange it with.Never seen Whitworth or BSF in there.

Must be a bloody old socket set to have Whitworth and BSF in it. Maybe Metric/AF mix or an earlier AF/ BSF/Whit mix but that would be a very old set going back to the early sixties.![]()
Yep me too. I have a Stanley 1/2" set that has both metric and imperial single hex. Bought it in the very early 90's and still going strong, the only thing that has failed is the original plastic box.
Metric / AF from 25 years or so ago.
though the track rod brackets on disco and defenders diffs remained bsw up to a few years backYeah Metric and AF for unified thread stuff i can understand but Whit and BSF are long gone on vehicles. Only thing i ever use BSF or BA spanner sizes on is my Myford lathe.

true they were just a hang over ,series were imperial apart from the very early ones before going metric at the beginning of the 80s except the gear box and diff housing bolts for the bracketsDon't know about that James. But there has not been much Whitworth or BSF stuff around for a very long time. Odd thing here and there maybe.
34mm,sockets betterI have a decent fully comprehensive set from Halfords, done everything i have needed it for.
That with a good couple of sets of combi spanners in both imp and met.....
Only spanner I have had to borrow was a sodding big one for the defenders steering drop arm nut..... Cant remember the size now though!
Try Sir less chance of error.
Ooooo,your mixing with to many communist'scould end up Cur
Af best thing in the world, can take most of the rangie apart with about 5 sizes, none of the 1mm steps in metric, far too many sizes.........
