Try it, you'll like it.

By the way, mass is a slug in the Brit system. Do you also have a set of witworth wrenches?

We still work in slugs for inertia and, yes, I have witworth sized sockets! So what's the problem?:p

Me. I'm the Brit expat. No non-running, leaking Brit motor anymore but would love another MGB!
