Alright. Here goes.

1st: I'm not volunteering for anything like this again until I know exactly how much of a PITA it is to accomplish.

2nd: This is a much more complex little piece of felt, metal and core material than I had realized before. There is really only one flat working surface (the surfaces that actually matter in holding down the top) - the vertical section. The rest are at least slightly bowed/curved. They look flat but aren't.

3rd: Nigel or Pierce seems to have fettled with mine.

4th: Measurements are with the felt in place but calipers pressing into it tightly.

5th: If I missed some measurement that you need let me know.

6th: Santa better be really good to me for doing this .

EDIT: 7th: The piece that wraps around the roll hoop is not flat but hook shaped with a small lip at the rear most end.

YMMV
