If you convert or build your car's running gear to Whitworth threads, that makes a lot more sense. I guess the clever way to do it would be to source a set of Elora spanners of the correct pattern but in AF sizes, perhaps?

Here's the point: It's fun to source "original" Cobra tool parts and assemble them for your car. It doesn't get much deeper than that.
Also, it's fun to try to fake out the "Cobra experts" which you can only do up to a certain point...when they look at an ERA frame it's over. But the time spent faking them out is priceless. I intend to do that full bore.
So when they "tut-tut-tut" it's a replica, my response will be "what took you so long?"
