I think it is great, and the author himself should make an update about it. A lot of us use CAD or 3D software nowadays, and we all noticed wrong dimensions. And we see many posts on the forums where people contest the dimensions of the book. It it only for making things better, everybody should be happy about it.
Like I've noticed by drawing the chassis with my computer (2D and 3D) that BR3-BR4 can't be 10° and BR1-BR2 can't be 16° if you want to respect the check dims, but respectively 9.67° and 15.63°. Not a big difference when you cut the tube (who can manually cut a 25mm tube with an half a degree accuracy ?) but it makes a big difference when you draw the map on the board where you are going to position the tubes. Half a degree on a 1 meter tube is a lot, and gives a mistake of too many mm at the end. I noticed it corrected it on my chassis, and I just checked it today on a CAD file I downloaded from a guy on this forum, and found the same result.
Hope I won't go to jail for having said that, No, I just can't believe it...
