102 forum posts 3 photos | I have prepared my Hornplate, but do not want to place it until I am clear on the Placing Measurements. On page 37 there is a drawing giving the height above the wrapper sheet as being 1 1/8th inches and 5/16th up from the base of the wrapper sheet. My measurenents are slightly adrift from those quoted. Which is the more important, or do I split the difference between the two. overall I am out by about 1/8th" Thanks all Malcolm Farrant |
