Default Thing is where to measure from?

Hi fellow madmen errr builders.

I have the luxury wide seats fitted and very snug they are too.

I have just taken a measurement from sort of shoulder to shoulder and the result 435mm.

This kinda makes sense as I was told they were 2 inches wider than the standard 385mm of Brians.

I still can not get over just how the stuff hugs your shape. I am the slight opposite of Brian.

HTH

Regards to all..................oh My Kreg is running really well
