.062" Gack! I don't think my feeler gauges even go that high ;-)

14 AWG wire or sheet.

The solid end of the bits are very close tolerance too.. probably
closer than many feeler gauge sets.

You can use them to measure the diameters of very small holes, too,
which is quite difficult otherwise.

..035" was the correct number according to everyone but the tech plate on
the engine. I went with .035" and had no more problems. ...at least
until thetransmission went and it went to scrap-metal heaven.

[*]That car threw the #1 wire once a year. They were a PITA to replace
with garages charging up to three hours labor. I got it down to 45min.
The last time it happened I figured out why. The specs printed on the
engine called for a spark gap of .062". The shop manual called for .035".

Mine did. :-(

I had a troublesome Triumph Bonneville (and a couple of Ducatis' among
many other bikes) and I mic'd my fingernails to see which fingernail
was the closest

I did my DL in Texas. Got 4 out of 4 points taken off for not
being able to parallel park at all, and 2 out of 2 for not being
able to go backwards in a straight line. The four turns I had to
take were all at 4-way stop intersections, and the examiner told
me later that I should not only stop but also look left and
right. And when taking turns I shouldn't be swerving all over the
intersection.

Then he charged me $16 and gave me my license.

PS: I also didn't have power steering, but the car was a Honda
Civic ;-)

You should get on quite OK in Italy. (;-) And Belgium.

Small Molex pins. The standard ones are .093"

The standard ones are 0.062. The high current ones are 0.093.

When I took my drivers test after moving to Florida the instructor
was going to fail me for not looking both directions while making a
three point turnaround. I asked her to look in the other direction and
tell me if she didn't see that the road was a dead end with a high fence
across it, and a very large stand of trees. Then I told her that if
something was going to hit me through all of that, that I had more to
worry about than looking down 20 feet of dead end street. She told me
that she was still going to fail me. I just smiled and told her that I
would be happy to explain it to her supervisor, and to my boss at the TV
station. She signed my papers. ;-)

I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm in Florida, driving out of
a short dead-end street with a high fence and a large stand of trees.

Next time you're in Florida give me a call. I'd like to meet you,
after chatting on the newsgroups for so many years. ;-)

It's probably what George Bush was doing as he sat frozen with
a story book in front of the children, for six minutes after
being told the U.S. was under attack.

Oh, Win, come on, give it a rest. You're clearly under some kind
of deadline or something, and getting all stressed out about it
because things aren't going as planned, and you're stuck in the
unenviable position of explaining to the tenured elders why
reality doesn't fit in with their preconceptions.

Will any airplanes crash if it's late? Will anybody die?

Then relax! Have a margarita and a nice hot bath. We'll live.

(Notwhithstanding it's not nice to kick a guy when he's down. ;-> )

Cheers!
