[QUOTE="Mike 40M, post: 140396, member: 3599"] Late sixties, Norton and BSA, maybe some other in the group decided to go for UN threads. So on my -70 BSAs, you have Cycle, BSF, UN and BA in different places. And some metric ones that PO have fitted. Quite a number of spanners & sockets needed. Plus the BSA affection of #3 Phillips. The Vincent is much easier because it rarely need any spanner work. But I've found that the Vincent K1 tool is perfect for the BSA primary plug for adding oil. Still not found any tool for the Burman fill plug. Except a hammer and pin punch. Old Swedish proverb translated to English: Fitting on an English motorcycle is only dependant of size of the hammer.
