What it is
Some Series drivetrain fasteners are Whitworth, not metric. This is a Whitworth socket set for that work — ⅜ drive six-point sockets from ⅛ through ½ Whitworth, plus ½ drive ⁹⁄₁₆ and ⅝. These unique and obsolete bolts and nuts will be used on mixed hardware for the Series I, II, IIa, III, Lightweight, and Forward Control. It is also used on some fittings on the pre-Defender Land Rover 90, 110, and 127 with 2¼L petrol and diesel engines. You shouldn't have to buy the set for one gearbox or axle.
