or anybody else for that matter.
One of my customers asked for some sockets and wrenches in something he called wentworth or british standard. Anyone heard of these. He works at a local high end shop on mostly older Rolse Royce's.(sp?), Bently's and Jag's.
Any help or web links would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Sockets and wrenches?
Whitworth British standard is a thread type, has a different pitch.
They use the same head size.

Thanks for the help and correct spelling guys. I found a site britishtool.com. I'll forward it to my customer and he can take it from there. You're right firefire they are expensive. But I guess if you're talented enough to work on bently's and rolls then you could prolly afford it. Thanks again guys.
