Does anyone know this? I had a look at the posts but could not find a figure, or a picture to help.

Everything is assembled so I can't see for myself.

I think your abacus may be faulty, thickness is 0.065 inch (1.66 mm)

You could be right,it was done in the dark under the bench,the figures don't add up,will re-calculate...

Thanks John and Mike,

I had some surface corrosion on the inside of the tube when I removed a caliper shield. Looks like there is plenty left in that area.

I had to grind off the three remaining nuts on the shield that were solidly seized on the captive screws. Even Plus Gas would not shift them.

I will grind off what's left and make new slotted holes for a new 4 off screw and nut combination on the lower and upper parts of the shield.

Dave.
