Excellent. Bloody Poms.

We had to explain to our mate in the States what a drive Spigot Bush is.. Turns out they call them Pilot bearings. Rick said "Spigot Bush?? That sounds like some kind of exotic plant!" hahaha.

You talk funny and you're not from New Zealand.. So you're a Pom in my (uneducated) mind. Haha.

Yes it's funny. We speak the same language, yet we don't speak the same terminology.

When i was over in the US I had a tough time with tools. Allen Key= Allen Wrench. Shifter= Cresent Wrench.. And then there's the fact that they work in imperial (and DO NOT want to know about metric! Ha.).. Lucky I work with both! haha.

Yeah in my aircraft days i worked with both, when i was with Airbus it was metric, and when i was working in the Hornets they are Macdonnell Douglas, now Boeing and all imperial. Keeps your mind active. I still see myself saying i need a number 30 drill to drill a rivet from a bar cover etc. Metric is lots easier imo. Funny though back in the UK they use metric but still have MPH and MPG crazy world we live in for sure
I do know my clutch is 228MM and will need many metric spanners to fit and i will have a few pints afterwards
