[DeTomaso] Apology to Mike Drew --- was Oil question at last resolved (I think)

[Will Kooiman]

How could you measure the tube on the inside?  The hole is much smaller than
my tape measure.  ;-)

Actually, I think your method is about as accurate as you can get - i.e.
measure with masking tape, and then measure the tape.

No apology necessary!?   I thought I made it clear that my measurement was 
only approximate--it's difficult to do it properly.   What I did was measure

the outside radius of the tube.   If you measured along the inside, the 
figure would likely be an inch shorter?

So, different people may come up with different figures based upon the 
particularly methodology used.   I need to pull the crank out of my spare
block 
on Monday, so while I'm at it I'm going to set up a camera and shoot photos 
to accompany measurements, so we'll all be on the same page at last. :>)
