<div><font size="4">Many Whitworth fasteners on the late BN1s
and BN2s were changed over to UNF in late '55 nad '56. Most of
these changes were documented in the factory parts manual and
service bulletins while some were not documented at all. Like
Hank stated, when the parts bin ran out, new items were often
sourced and installed, and not necessarily documented.</font></div>
<div><font size="4"><br></font></div>
<div><font size="4">Until we can confirm that were UNF threaded "U"
brackets used on later 100s in lieu of the BSF ones, then the
assumption has to be that they were used until the end of BN2
production. So, if anyone out there has an original "U" clamp from
a late BN1 or BN2 with UNF threads, please submit documentation to
Michael Salter and me so that we can update the Concours
Guidelines.</font></div>

<div>Ok, as long as we are showing clamps, here is my NOS exhaust
bracket set. It was still wrapped in this photo, but as Curt
says- its British thread-probably until mid 1954 when they tried to
unify or whenever the bin holding exhaust brackets ran out and they
refilled it. Whichever came first. They did not throw any away in
lieu of unified replacements.
<div><br></div>
<div>Likely, Michael's new set will be UNF as they are not making
any early parts for "purists"-same holds true on the rear gearbox
mounts and other items as well. Hank<br><br><p>-----------------------------------------</p>

<div>Excuse my ignorance, but can someone tell me what number 8 is
bolted to and where does it clamp to the exhaust pipe? Anyone have
a picture of this hanger in place? I am ordering all the
hangers for the exhaust system to install before I take the car off
the jack stands.</div>
