Sounds like you are next to a NAS. Navy man?

[@dennisp.2147]

The thing about British engines is, if there isn't oil under them, there's no oil in them.

[@bugeye23]

Yes that old oil filter assembly! I don’t know if you’re going all original or some upgrades, but I highly recommend the spin on oil filter assembly (readily available). Much easier to change the oil. 👍

If I was rich and could afford restoring it to Concourse quality I'd keep the original, but I'm definitely leaning toward the spin on. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hey Bob, these are a little before my time, I’m surprised the fasteners aren’t British Imperial Standard. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. Looking forward to the progress 👍

The more I work on the more I'm finding a "variety" of fasteners. At least 3 or 4 Whitworth, most probably are BIS, but I've also come across a few SAE, and even a wood screws that were used to attach the cloth door straps to the inside of the A pillars. The wood screws were of two different sizes and types, so I suspect at least some of them were original to the car. As I understand it the major difference between BIS and SAE are how the pitch of the threads are cut.
