Title: Back to back gauge or measurment
Post by: jonclox on July 06, 2013, 02:59:18 PM
Just spent over an hour searching here and on line for a B2B gauge and cant find one :scowl:
Can anyone point me to one or even sell me one. Failing that what is the measurement B2b so that I can make one.  :hmmm:

:worried: Oh Dear the gauges are made by BullAnt and can take up to 6 months to deliver. Guess I shall just have to wait.
Even the N Gauge forum is closed all of July so that's not much better  :laugh:

be careful, there are different b2b gauges, some i think are about 7.2mm and some about 7.5mm...  (exact measurements someone else will know...)

anyway i got a b2b gauge from the n gauge society that is about 7.5, so for newer finer wheel types.

Thanks bluedepot that gives me a starting point to make one. I can soon turn down a length of brass stock to 7.5 mm and try some wheels set at that and skim off a mm at a time if all is not well at that measurement
