Hi Pat & Concours people.
Here's something I think everyone will need sooner or later in the life of your 914. I got these dimensions from George Hussey @ AA. I believe they are correct. Tom BTW Pat: You may want to post (above) in the nailed file. Attached thumbnail(s)   Attached image(s)

I'm getting ready to do mine again and went back and dug up a picture I put together last time I did this. Seems a bit archaic, sure, but the spacing ends up "perfect", and meets the dimensions specified in the above diagram. It's just a lot easier to do this way in my opinion, since you don't have to deal with keeping a tape measurer in place, etc. YMMV. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Where stated, "n full diamonds showing" means at least n full diamonds, but not n + 1. For example, "4 full diamonds showing" might mean that you actually see 4 full ones and part of a 5th one, but not 5 full ones.  This post has been edited by Lavanaut: Sep 10 2008, 04:07 PM |

QUOTE(Lavanaut @ Sep 10 2008, 11:48 AM)  I'm getting ready to do mine again and went back and dug up a picture I put together last time I did this. I just replaced the letters on my /6 this past week and used this approach again. It worked great, the spacing ended up perfect. I won't grow hair on my palms for quoting myself will I?  |
