That Swan Guy:
To answer your actual question, NO there isn't a difference with Old School BMX spec whether it's from the US or UK.
There are exceptions to the rule ie Mk1 Burners have a larger diameter seat post, check the size of bottom brackets.
One piece cranks fit in what are known as US bottom brackets. 3 piece cranks fitted a specific axle which can be fitted to US, Euro (threaded) and Spanish (also threaded) bottom brackets.

In GENERAL Old School headsets are 1" (21.1mm) THREADED. Mid onwards are 1 1/8" threaded or even unthreaded.

An old School BMX GENERALLY have a US bottom bracket and 1" threaded headset.

It always pays to check first though. Unless you are going for a certain spec most parts are easily found in the UK. As saod above, get yourself a SST and but off here. Folks are keen to help and it's cheaper than ebay :daumenhoch:

I didn't realize there was a site supporter tag to enable you to buy & sell. I have just paid my subs.
