Increased width of slot = .016" ✓
New " " = .166" ✓
On depth of slot we save ✓
2 x .048" = .096"
and spend
6 x .008 = .048" ✓
i.e. depth of slot is less by .048" ✓
and will therefore be .487. ✓
Slot is now .166" x.487" ✓ .165 x.485
Present neck depth = .535 - 3/4 of .075
= .535 - .056 = .479"
Dia. at neck = 3.100 - .958
= 2.142"
Oce = 6.74"
1/28 of this = .241
Slot = .150
.. neck = .091"
New neck depth = .487 - 3/4 of .083
= .487 - .062 = .425
Dia. at neck = 3.100 - .850 = 2.250
Oce = 7.07
1/28 of this = .253
Slot = .166
Neck = .087"
This is O.K.
