Exhaust bolts


Recommended Posts

If you're trying to eye-ball it center-to-center with a pair of calipers, I can see why you're having problems :P

Just screw a couple of studs into the bolt holes, measure across the outside of both studs, then subtract the diameter of 1 stud.

You now have your center-to-center spacing perfectly :)

Which is still 59mm

I've always found less math to be easier. Measure from the east side of 1 to the east side of the other & be done.

 

 

And 58, it is. :v

While fundamentally I agree, in this particular case what you suggest is unlikely / unable to be used.

Calipers cannot measure from "inside" to "ouside" on the same part in the manner you suggest.   They measure outside-outside OR inside-inside, so either way you gotta do some math :):)

Caliper? What is this "caliper" thing, of which you speak? I build with a tape measure !!!   xD
