    We all speak Sunbeam here mostly, so we are always on topic, :)

The main point here is that we need to be aware that Sunbeam used a variety
of British type threads like UNF, UNC, BSF, BA and maybe others.   We need
to understand British threads are somewhat different then US Fine and Coarse
thread or sometimes totally foreign to us.   We just need to recognize that.

To be accurate its Whitworth - BSW - British Standard Whitworth

Yes, I see SS does list a few of the seat screws in the Upholstery section;
good catch.

Not sure if I am on topic here or not, but there is a counter set
screw/screws in the seat frame that I am told are "Wentworth" (sp?).  I have
been told that the seat frames were made by a company whose main line of
business was making seats for the British Aircraft industry, when there was
one going back in the 60's  Wentworth was supposedly the standard used in
the British Aircraft industry back then.  Anyone remember the Comet
airliner?  I believe SS sells the screws, look under "upholstery" for
special screws.  Hope that is relevant!
