Here was another oddball problem we encountered on the Velocette electric start job. These unique double-sided nuts included in our electric start kit had different threads on each side to accommodate the original British Standard Whitworth bolts that came factory on the Velocette. However, after 50+ years, someone had changed the bolts to American sizing.
Since we were unable to source such unique bolts, John used Heli-Coil thread inserts that matched the American bolts we had!
