Threads and their origins

Did you ever start to do some mechanical work on your classic car only to discover that none of your spanners fit correctly? We recently had a customer complaining that he couldn’t find a spanner to fit particular bolts on his car, only for us to point out that this was Whitworth rather than imperial or metric sizes. These tools with their odd and unusual markings were once very common indeed my Father gifted me a number when he decided to stop repairing his, admittedly fairly modern, Ford in the 1970’s. Now they are getting harder to find as people’s memories of what they were all about fade into the mists of time… however, not only can Leyton Fasteners source Whitworth sizes for you, our tool supplier; King Dick can supplier the correct spanners and wrenches, British made and brand new.
