Thank you Hanno for the link, i have sent an email.
Is there a manual on the limber or is it in part of the 25Pdr manual.

Not bigger, same size but different pitch.

CMP wheel nuts are 5/8"UNF (18 threads per inch), while British nuts are 5/8"BSF (14 tpi). And both types have Left and Right threads
