If your mate at the garage doesn't have Whitworth, he'll probably have
UNC instead. These are the same diameter and TPI as 1/4" Whitworth, and

only the purists will notice the difference.

UNC nuts and bolts were pretty rare on cars - they're usually UNF. UNC
threads were used into cast aluminium etc, though. But UNF threads on the
other end of the studs if not bolts.
