All the threads on the 100/4 engine are BSF not Whitworth. Whitworth is a c=
oarse thread.=20
However the wrench sizes are interchangeable. They are one size apart from e=
ach other.=20
The threads on the small plate are 1/4 bsf and the gen bracket is 5/16 bsf. A=
lso look close there are some of the studs that go thru into the cooling sys=
tem.=20
