mechanic.
not swarf monkey....
it fits well enough and nothing gets broken.
and the rest of the thread deals with how to change the belt with no specialist tools just incase you round out the bell housing thread.
British standard.... thats one of them oxly morons, like military intelligence.
actually the BS and Whitworth type threads are a very good design
as the old salt who explained nuts and bolts to me when I was learning about them.
Witworth has a relationship between thread pitch, diameter and the AF of the head.
If you know any 2 of those items you can work out the rest and because you know the thread type once you know the grade of metal the standard torquing values apply so you know how tight to tighten them.
