I'm planning to purchase some sockets for a job on my wifes citreon but the purchase of an S or Chim will also occur in the future.

I was wondering if TVR's use metric or AF sockets (the citreon uses metric so if TVR is also metric I will not need the AF sockets).

The majority are metric but there are some imperial ones scattered around the car. Some of the brake pipe connectors/bleeds are imperial (other brake pipe connectors are metric though) but and IIRC the seatbelt bolts as well. Considering how few imperial bits there are you're probably better off buying them as seperate sockets and spanners.

Thanks guys, I already had AF sockets upto 3/4 and metric upto 17mm. But will probably buy a larger set of both.

Cheers,

Ralph.
