inside measurement where it mounts to tail section 8 .9/16 (inches)

276mm for the first one
217mm for the second one

10 7/8" = 276.225
8 9/16" = 217.48

Gents, sorry to go off topic (as is my way)
But am I correct in thinking that there has not always been 25.4mm to the inch ?, just rings a bell somehow.

 

[irondarren]

hasBean yes 25.4mm per inch.

 

[dannyweld]

just remember..
25.4mm = 1"
and thats bang on, to the thou.

There is a good conversion program at
http://joshmadison.com/article/convert-for-windows
It covers all sorts. Volume, power, weight, speed etc plus has a custom setting. I have used it for years.

Now this is really sad.......

Before 1" = 25.4mm became standard it was......

25.393701mm

I think I'd better have have a (...nother) drink and think about going to bed early

[madkayaker]

NASA missed mars with that minute difference.

 

[dannyweld]

Imperial/Metric came up recently on another thread about gauge on MMA rods. I still give my laddies drawings in imperial just to watch their coupons, they are totaly clueless on how to decypher imperial & convert to metric!!

A set o Zues charts help immensley..............

 

[chunkolini]

Ahem, A Rant.

What F'kwit came up with using base 4 to measure anything?

This thread came up with this ''simple question' inside measurement where it mounts to shocks 10 .7/8 (inches)
inside measurement where it mounts to tail section 8 .9/16 (inches)''

How many units are we mixing? Inches, 8th's and 16th's.

let alone 32n'ds, 64th's, 128th's.

Bonkers.

I think it was Charles Degaulle who said (of France) ''how can you govern a country that has 256 types of cheese''.

How in Hell did Britain have a vast empire with such a ridiculous system of measurement?

you want to go out with a lass born after 1972 then they don't know what an inch is and any measure in mm sound big
