hehehe.  Didn't even think of that.  That's one of the ones that has its own
nuts, no captive nuts or the like.  Hmmph.  Sears and Ace were closed already,
and the Home Depot only had SAE, but I could have used it if I had thought of
it.  Ah, well, again.  Off to Sears in the morning.  Since I have to wait
until morning anyway, might as well get the exact widget.

BTW, thanks for the answer on this one.  Shoulda thankied before.

BTW2, was in the garage wrenching when the 55 yo retired exec across the 
street walked by.  He bought a bike at retirement for his summer house in WI.  
Any guesses as to what he rides?  So I say "this damn thing is all metric."
and he says "what did you expect?" and I say "well, it's a brit bike, so I
guess I expected English sizes." and he says "british?  what is it?" and I
say "Triumph." and he says "well, it's probably all made in Japan anyway."
hehehe.  I couldn't resist.  I said "your softtail has more japanese content
than this thing does."  I don't think he liked that too much.  "No way!"
he yells.  (but I think it may be true anyway....)

So I guess the Whitworth socket and wrench sets will end up going to my bro,
who still has the two Norton Commandos....
