Boat shoe shaving Unsprung weight down by 1.5 kgs. What did you do that with? A belt sander? You mustn't have stopped laughing all day! They still look a bit deep on the soles mind. Micrometer?
It's cos. they's 'Goodyear Welted' they's thick! 'Goodyear Welted' is always thick soled! Google it, you 'Goodyear Welted' accountant!
This little baby! OK. You insisted on a mic., so I dug it out. The result was: 0.347" That's why I had to dig it out, it's 1966 vintage, my apprentice mic., and it's Imperial.
5/16ths here on a ruler, so I reckon there's a little bit more shoe shaving to do. Just a little waffer thin mint thickness still to remove "Waffer"
Don't need that stuff. The bloody glue I used on the grit paper is so fecking strong, I can't get it off! At Laycocks, I used to heat carbide grains to red hot, and drop them onto the soles of my work shoes, to stop sliding about. I wish I had some now to make proper 'hot spots' for heel and toeing, and left foot braking.
That includes 0.156" of leather in the 'Goodyear Welting'. So the thickness of the 'Neoprene' sole is about: 0.200". Can't do imperial sums anymore!
Difficult to tell without taking samples, though prevailing winds would imply the sole crumbs are on their way. The rather large plane I can see on the horizon is ominous; i'll do all I can to deter it from landing.
No. The pilot says it's already overfuelled. The communications are a bit ropey, I think I made out the words "Per-len-back-her" and "Lid-ells", mean anything to you?
