Top ridge: .103
Top: .129
Middle: .066
Bottom: .063
.129 - .063 =0.066
.067 divided by 3.14 = .021
So…. Guessing .030 over might be what I can expect (or more).
(I will be bringing it to a machine shop clearly).
(I wonder why the top ridge is bugger than bottom of cylinder… previous backyard re-ring?)
