Hi Swarfy,

Yes… I know that my metric stuff will not fit.  *smile* I also own a 1953 Ariel VH and a 1956 Norton M 50 so tools and experience is already available in my workshop.  ;) Did I tell ya that I also have a Midget and a B GT?  ;) My only German bike is a BMW R26… my first one since nearly 30 years. Also ordered a few parts from Drags today.

Used loveless with the meaning „without love“… one of the former owners used bolts in every dimension doesn’t matter how it looks like.

Tell you what though, with the Kwaka, it's so nice to go to my stocks and pick out a metric that'll fit straightaway - no Whitworth/BsCy to think about and with all the spanners and sockets to suit. *smile*

One of these days, I'll have a spanner board with all the Imperial spanners I need for the bike with a list of what they'll fit underneath - Autumn job I reckon. *good3*
