I was once "Baconsdozen Imperial Tools".

I've used the hosting and some pages from my now retired business site,"Baconsdozen Imperial Tools", for these personal pages. Baconsdozen was originally a tool store/ship chandlers based in Lowestoft UK. As the British fishing fleets steadily declined it turned to selling imperial sizing based tools for older vehicles and machinery made before the metric system became common. Sending professional qualityWhitworth/BSF, BA, and SAE or AF tools all over the UK and by mail order worldwide. Many of these tools were British made by firms now sadly gone as people bought imported cheaper and usually lower quality tools.  I still own a few old classic cars,this site is about them,with links to my old business and other sites dealing with the repairs and restoration of old cars etc. There are also old pictures of the once thriving UK fishing industry, Lowestoft harbour,docks,caravan sites and the rest of the seaside town etc.

If you need tools for an old car or motorbike and want to use the correct tools, the conversion charts (link above) explain BSW,BSF,BA and AF sizing etc.

There are pages about us,the ship chandlers we owned, Lowestofts beam trawlers and fishing fleets etc here, the harbour and fish auctions etc here. and background here.

I still buy or sell tools and spares etc connected with cars the same as,or similar to ones I own.
