Guys,
Thanks for taking the time to get the tapes out - either metric or imperial.
mait, your measurements are good, although you may have left off the "1"in front of each. And as for the good ole southern wrenchman, my experience is that they are normally smarter than they make out to be (or is that smarter than they look??) either way thanks again for helping, and to Naj for keeping an eye on things by suggesting, ever so politely, that mait was a slice short of a loaf.
Cheers
George
