A little more involved than that. The screws specced by MG are all nice 
standard BSF and BSC (or is that UNF and UNC?). Assemblies brought in from 
other companies, however, followed whatever standard that company had 
adopted. Therefore, SU carbs, Armstrong Shocks, whoever's fuel tank, etc 
were frequently Whitworth or some other strange alternate standard.
