From what I have been able to gather from various YouTube videos, there are both SAE...
...and Whitworth fasteners
I'm aware of that. I am primarily concerned with using the proper tools for the bolt head size.Unified, (UTS).

Not all British threads are 'Whitworth' (BSW) as there are also BSF, BSC, BA, BSP, ME also a few special fine Whitworth (Whit form) threads on a Commando.

I went through a similar metamorphosis with my '67 A65T. I ordered some wrenches and sockets on eBay.Where ever the spanners you have that don't fit, but that don't worry me as I have spanners and sockets for every thing, I have WW, AF and metric from sockets, open end spanners, ring spanners, combination spanners you name it I have everything, but I went years without a WW set and got by without but am glad I now do have the right tools for everything, only took me 46 years to get it right.
Off topic, but my 1/4W fits one of the Amal carb bolts (drain or banjo, forget which).
I am planning on purchasing or fabricating tools to remove the entire primary drive.The gearbox lockring tool would be handy as well.
The 1/4 Whit is definitely the most common, along with a few 3/16 W (close to 7/16"). The other nuts & bolts fit SAE tools, though some are oddball sizes. My first Whitworth socket and wrench sets were only 5 pieces and they cover just about everything.I am planning on purchasing or fabricating tools to remove the entire primary drive.

Yep I've often seen this on Norton gearboxes!I only mentioned the lockring tool because every time I change or check oil level in my gearbox I see where the original owner used a punch on the lockring. It looks like hell. The lockring tool would make the job simple and clean. You could make one. I could not. I don't have the machinery to do it. Much easier to just buy tools in my case. Good luck with the project. Should be easy enough. Your back is really going to appreciate that bike stand.
