28S Heat stake size? (Repairing a mostly working 28)

[jebem]

If you can't contact Geoff Quickfall, try reach this other member at his site as apparently there is also a project for creating a new case from scratch and probably you can get the correct rod sizing there.

That said, sooner or later you will have to open the calculator to fix it, and then you will will be able to take all the measures you need.

(edited to add information)
ok, I took some readings on my 19BII:
base, outer: 5mm or 0.197" or 13/64"
base, inner: 3mm or 0.118 or 1/8"
the rod: 2mm or 0.079" or 5/64"
Some more details here.


edited again for additional information:
Neil Hamilton (Ottawa) member have posted the information you are looking for.
According to him, he used 3/32" styrene tubing instead of rods, and then he realized it was a little bit thicker than required to install them without additional corrective actions, so he used a little bit larger diameter than my measurements above at 5/64.



Please share your findings here, once you have your answers.
