I've checked all the angles and dimensions over and over, has anyone else noticed thi problem or is just likely me doing something wrong?
Cheers for any help.

I've just come across this exact same issue (modelling in 3ds Max) in that the book figure of 882mm for BR10 makes it too long to fit between BR3 and BR4 in the position shown on Pg 34 (ie at the joins of BR3 to BR1, and BR4 to BR2).
Obviously it will fit if moved back towards BR11 (approx 25mm) - is that what people have done, or is the book dimension wrong?
Trying stuff 'virtually' first to try & eliminate such problems
