<html><body><div>My brother used to have a Morris Minor, so he had a set of Whitworth Wrenches he wasn't using and gave them to me. I remember one time I was very glad I had them when I was working on the SU Carbs on the car trying to loosen something underneath which I could't see, and adjustable wrenches tend to get unadjusted easily, and didn't fit very well. The correct Wentworth Wrench was prefect.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>If you can find a set on eBay pretty cheap, they're nice to have.</div><div><br></div><div class="x-apple-signature">Rye<br>PH: 530-FIND-RYE</div><div><br>On August 13, 2019 at 3:21 AM, Randall <tr3driver@ca.rr.com> wrote:<br><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div class="msg-quote" lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="#954F72"><div class="WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">A couple of adjustable (crescent) wrenches, one medium and one small, will pretty much cover the Whitworth wrench requirements.
