Are you refering to brake hoses? As far as I know, the Austin 7 had cable brakes.

No, I was just referring to the fact that Austin 7's did use some metric threads (e.g. sump bolts. I am told) and that the suggestion that the discussed hoses, "might" also be of that ilk.
I am waiting to find out what the thread is.

Hi Mike. The thread mentioned in the PBR book is UN . I cannot find current listing. 11/16 UNS is listed in an old Blackwoods catalogue as BOTH 16 and 11 t. p. i. I have an 11/16 whitworth tap and it is also 11 t. p. i. I think the thread form would be different.
3BZ still works, have had antenna problems (also time) things seem OK now. Am trying to get up on 50 Mcs. Hope to catch up with you at Corowa.
