*I solved a similar problem once by carefully measuring the diameter of the front wheel on my dirt bike (paint smear on the tire left marks on the driveway) and then putting a white tape wrap round the tire. Then I drove slowly and counted the revolutions . . not "survey" accurate but served my purpose. Once measured a quarter mile "street racing" drag strip the same way with a rag tied in the spoke of a Model A Ford!* *Tony* _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Shop-talk mailing list http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/shop-talk http://www.team.net/archive |
