<<From what I understand of sand casting, using the original part would make
a new part that is too small. As the metal cools after solidifying, it
contracts. Each type of metal has a different characteristic.>>
Which WOULD explain how Overriders and Bumpers got 'reduced', Greg.
I think Roger Moment fist pointed the diffs out to me WITH actual
sizes. Perhaps Richard Gordon (Lister) could ask and post the info???
As I am sure David & Norman Nock will attest to, there ARE a number
of LBC (I deal with more than just Healeys<G>) parts where this
situation crops up<F>.
