Now I could be wrong but the only way I can see BR1 & 2 needing to be shorter and BR8 & 9 needing to be longer but still keeping BR7 the correct length is if somehow the distance across BR10 has increased.

I am probably way of the mark. I will wait for the picture before passing any more comment.

We will get it sorted.

Cheers Ginge

I haven`t got my book to hand but I seem to remember I had a similar issue with some measurements, turned out I was measuring the mitred tubes wrong as in the length when mitred instead of before they were cut? I hope that makes sense? Dennis.

Thanks to Eon for the power cut at my parents for the last 2 days on and off. Now I'm on some slowwwwww mobile dongle thingy at mine. These pics will take ages for me to upload. Shocking focus on my phone aswell!

How well does BR7 fit in between the BR8/9? If cut to the book length that it should fit perfectly, if it's too big for the gap then I think it means you have the large angles of BR8/9 wrong, I had them wrong when i made mine, they were about 1 degree out but mess up the entire section so i had to grind them out and redo them.

Haven't made BR7 yet but I've measured the gap and its bang on the same as BR7. Will measure the width is correct across FF tomorrow
