[Healeys] Exhaust hangers

[Ricchardd Mayor]

I have a question for you all regarding Whitworth (55* thread pitch angle) fasteners.  I have generally referred to both BSW and BSF as Whitworth fasteners. But, I have been “corrected” a number of times over this last year by some that say BSF is not Whitworth.  So, is BSF Whitworth, or is it not?
