These were the days when the British had their own screws (from a continental European perspective). People buying a Landrover on the continent also needed to buy a set of suitable wrenches.

I guess the same holds for America. Not sure whether American screws would be the same as British ones or whether they would differ like the volume of a gallon.

With global manufacturing these days, Japanese cars everywhere, German cars in America, how many screw standards are still in use? When did it change, if it did?
