If I had known anyone needed them, I could have put 5/16" BSF nuts on Markets. I acquired a box of 5,000 and sold them at swap meets in cliplock bags of 20 for $2. All gone now.
I stock BSF taps from 3/16" to 5/8" and dies from 3/16" to 1/2". I have a few sizes of left hand BSF taps. All taps are intermediate lead with a few sizes also available in bottoming lead. Both taps and dies are high speed steel.
I must admit that things are a lot easier since I bought a nice new set of whitworth sockets from Tool City in Coopers Plains. Been putting up with a worn out set of old spanners for years now so the new set is definitely well worth it.
Tyron Saunders, "Jeckle", 07 3348 9859, usually has a selection of Whitworth hand tools..
Have now sourced nearly all my lighting requisites fairly locally, got to organise a weekend drive now to pick them up!
For Lucas stuff, contact Kev. Baker , the Lucas (and much else) man, KB Classic Parts, 07 5494 4221 fax 07 5494 4114. When Kev moved from Carina to Maleny he took thirteen x three ton truck loads of parts up the mountain.
