Thanks mate, ill have to chase up some new bits in 7mm to finish them off!
Have spent a lot of time getting it all right, to the point the mrs is on my back now! Hopefully it all goes smooth tomorrow.

Let me know if youre stuck I can get a set of front & rears done same as mine & post up to you if need be - no problem!
I should be fine! The game plan in there, it's the size of the arms that seems to be the issue now... As I said, measured at 6mm but act like 7mm! Ill just have to trade in my 6mm gear for 7!
Not sure if this helps, you've both probably read it.

Thanks mate. I had seen the mod before, just not the forum post!
6.1mm seems to be the diameter of the arms by two sources I've heard now. I might try and take .1mm off the arms so I can thread a 6mm thread.

Can't find my copy of the engineers black book.
One of those items that must be imperial... As in quarter inch. Have to admit I'm surprised how much is metric (German influence???) in the P38Quote:

Yeah I measure 1/4" being more than the diameter of the arms, definitely 6.1mm!
I have conceded defeat with my idea of trimming 0.1mm off the arms to tap a 6mm thread. I tried and was still unable to get a decent go at it. I did only give it 30mins today, family time needs to start taking preference!
Ill get 7mm gear and weld it all together once it's all how I want it. If its not quite right I can tune it with the faultmate. If its still out ill get new arms and start from scratch!
Who does 6.1mm rod arms - seriously! Must be so they fit into the rubber ends.
Cheers

If you weren't in a hurry I might be able to send an adjustable m6 die up to you..
