Default Re: Nut and bolt gauge for Early Ford

I'm just glad my old Clausing 12" lathe will cut imperial thread sizes. There is lot of stuff that getting harder to source. With Roy gone now it may be even more difficult. Ford had odd ball head sizes with some bolts. They liked larger hex heads on some. At least most of there stuff was either national fine or national course. There used to be a national standard size that was in between. Harley Davidson loved that stuff on there old bikes before and just aft the war. That way you had to buy the stuff from them.
