[DeTomaso] Engine cover / nut dimensions

Bud,

Okay, now you’re just messing with me. 

You originally said they were .550 x .557. Chuck said they were 1/2 x 1/2 which is probably measured with a ruler rather than a micrometer, and is very close to your measurements.

But overnight your nuts grew from .550 to .710 on each side???

Corey Price measured his and said his were .52 x .52.

I made three nuts last night, in the dark, outside, badly. :)

All of them are different from one another and all have measurements somewhere in between the various values I’ve been provided. They should be close enough to do the job. :)

   Bud,

   Okay, now you're just messing with me.

   You originally said they were .550 x .557. Chuck said they were 1/2 x
   1/2 which is probably measured with a ruler rather than a micrometer,
   and is very close to your measurements.

   But overnight your nuts grew from .550 to .710 on each side???

   Corey Price measured his and said his were .52 x .52.

   I made three nuts last night, in the dark, outside, badly. :)

   All of them are different from one another and all have measurements
   somewhere in between the various values I've been provided. They should
   be close enough to do the job. :)
