Re: crictical theory

35 x 4 7/8 x 40, is correct.
pap is 5" 3/4 up.

i marked the first oil ring and measurered across the ball to get 20*, as i dont have access to a video.

Re: crictical theory

Re: crictical theory

i guess my bad, but some leeway should be allowed as we dont all know the lingo spoken here. i dont know the dual angle for the lay out iam writing about, but would 4 x 4 strong hook be ok to describe a strong layout for the most flare / hook. my wife was reading over my shoulder and read the last c...
