Thanks for the offer Paul but I really want to fit and forget. JK are doing the stainless pipe for £96 with free p+p. Anyone tried the JK one? Reviews seem ok.

I just checked my micrometers and my rough and ready digital callipers against the calibrated inch at work.

Not bad, my old ones i inherited from my Dad are a bit out.

I then made my own calibrated inch.

Spot on at 19*C. So i can re-check my tools any time.

I got calibration pieces with my micrometers, good job, they needed calibrating.

I too was impressed with the accuracy of my digital vernier caliper, not bad for a £15 Aldi special

What's the apprentice doing while you're doing their job

Yeah, we have a few un-calibrated digital callipers at work for rough checks and I was surprised how accurate they are too.
I wouldn't trust the apprentice to make a cake, never mind an accurate inch.

800 mile round trip to Il de Re in France powerd by WBXlog engine, the pleasure of driving 400 miles in a day with an engine I rebuilt was well worth the effort.

Sounds good Paul.
The mrs keeps on at me to go to france, I'm not so keen but maybe we will once this engine's proved it'self.

I would not know how to adjust them but they have always been spot on, set of four 0-100mm
