    Oh wow !!!!!!! The science is so over whelming that it has resorted to pocket protector with scale ruler mentality. [​IMG]

    To find mm I just x by 25.4 ;)
     
  6. I can measure with the tape. And I can convert inches to mm.
    I just saw this at Carlisle and thought it would be really handy for $10.
    Now I can give this to someone who can't read a tape well and say don't bring that axle/drum/wheel home if it doesn't line up right here on this number!!!
    Saved me more than $10 in wrong parts.
