There maybe another option
Back in the 60's I had a '54 650cc Triumph and later dropped a '59 Bonnie engine I had "slightly" modified into it.
I never did buy another tool set, just added some sizes. For instance, I had a 9/16" socket and a 5/8" socket in my 'Murican set. One was too small, one was too large. But a 19/32" sized socket fit several of the bolts on my bike. I did it this way on the advice of a commercial/wholesale tool and die place in Great Falls, Montana where I was in the USAF and on a tight budget.
I also bought a Whitworth tap and die set from them and cut a lot of my own bolts - if one was stripped I'd take it in, tell them what it was used for and they'd suggest a certain grade, order a blank, and when it came in I'd cut my own threads. Did Triumph still use Whitworth in 66?
