Why drill it on the flats ?

I agree Reckers, it may have been too tight to remove until that drilling was done last, where it wold have streched enough to undo without difficulty.

The narrowest part, so the area most likely to split.

Thank you for your responses regarding item 2. I inherited it and did not know what it is for. I have just tried it on the footbrake butterfly nut and it fits perfectly. Well done Scarlet O'Hara.

As n°1 was on a special, is it something to do with lowered suspension and a different way of attaching the radius arms?

Reckers - too tiny - the main bolt shank is only 9mm across. (Pity, as fiddling with exactly that at present. Aren't 3/4" bolts expensive?)

A colleague's father was an inveterate Pom "engineer". He used to say thet the only virtue of UNF nuts was that they were easy to split off with a chisel.... He had a point. (And some considered the only advantage of American V bed lathes was that workmen could not sit on them!)

ok, a new one...the one of the right is a three speed box top locator bolt - but what are the other two?

Is that a clutch pedal shanked bolt on the left? Difficult without a size 1/4 or 5/16?

dizzy bolt on the left, used with a spring and big washer on manual advance models ???
