[Healeys] Master cylinder-Metric?

[Charlie Baldwin]

There may be some other cases where metric fasteners were used on 
vintage British cars.  The T series MGs had what was referred to as 
'French' metric thread forms on the engines and gearboxes.  This was 
because the tooling used for these was leftover French tooling and 
Nuffield/BMC elected to use the threads and put British Standard/ 
Whitworth heads on the bolts.  What I have found on my TD is that the 
French metric form is similar to fine thread metric.  I know that many 
years ago (early '70s), before metric fasteners were at all popular, I 
got some replacement bolts from a VW dealer.
