Really. Come on you boys at the back, pay attention!
15 divided by 25.4 precisely is ...? Anyone?
0.5906" so 19/32" comes out at 0.5938. Close as you'll get. :ok

Thanks for reminding me that I've been meaning to look-up what AF stands for ('cos I could never work it out). :oops:

correct ^^^
5/8 would be way too big kev. 14mm is 9/16 and one millimeter is much less than 1/8 inch :wink:
