ORIGINAL: Pah co chu puk

WWMB... ''And to note, he could have used a smaller shim. Think geometry & triangles, and levers too. By Pah-Co's measurements, the ring is ~roughly~ 5.5'' in diameter, or 14mm (mean of inner/outer measurements) So if he shimmed only the back edge of the ring at .75mm, then every 7mm further out (2.75'') the lift would be 50% more (angle, guys, angle) and at 14mm out from the ring-edge, its lifted a good 1.5mm. He could have used a smaller shim to get the same .75mm lift at the rear of the turret to clear the grilles.

I must have been late, read cm where the mm is bold. I got 143 mm or 14.3 cm.
Whoops, thats ~my~ typo, not yours. Guess I got in the habit what with the shims being .75mm... but I ~did~ say (or at least mean) ~about~ 14cm... 3mm isn't much on that calculation, when used as a factor on the angle.
