Hi Bryan,
Sorry for my ignorance - not sure what you mean by the smallest pin size?
Am I right in thinking that as you move down the table the shells are in effect thicker to alow for crank wear or smaller diameters of journal?

It'll show which way the tolerance is leaning to and help make the decision easier.

Sorry it does not have anything beyond the second decimal place its a Moore & Wright new item.

You can still get indication of if under or over the 0.01 increment.
When you mic the journal, if you have any "traction" as you undo the mic, then you've probably sprung the gate a very tiny amount. By just touching the contact at very very light sliding pressure, then look at the marking to see if you are above or below the 0.01 mark, even by a small amount.
It can tell you if they are between 0.00 and 0.01 or between 0.01 and 0.02 which will give you the correct position on the colour table.
Bryanj:
When you measured it you said it could fit in two categories, use the smallest of those

I have done that now - that thanks. Ted
Settled now on Black, Brown & 3 Green sets of shells - I will plastiguage for peace of mind when I start to rebuild the casing..
