Does the UK still use a lot of inch-based bolts, screws, and nuts?

For imperial or inch based tools? IE Whitworth,BSF,BA or AF spanners

@pennyfortheguy I mean inch-based hex-cap and socket-cap bolts and screws, and hex nuts.

@takepapayaakenji Yeah .. The metric changeover took place in 1968. However, It's a strange thing that when they were building the "Ford Transit Van" In Britain. the parts used were to accommodate the Whitworth standard, where as in places like France and Germany, they were using the new "Metric" system for their building of Ford Transit Vans. So, if one were to import a Transit Van from say, France .. Getting ready made parts for them in the UK would be a nightmare .. Because they used a totally different setup to build them. Strange but very true.

@takegrapeakenji Are you trying to build something "pre" 1960" I'm not sure whether you can source them new. I would say that you could try a car wreaking company .. Or the like.

@pennyfortheguy And Americans didn't exactly follow BSW when we made UTS. What a pain.
