I suggest you download and print copies of each


to have at hand for reference as you read the
section on each.

I have not “metrified” the BOMs. The difficulty of


doing so is beyond my capabilities. This is not
as simple as changing dimension from Imperial
to Metric as I must source new components that
work together.

I apologized for this on Page 8.

Perhaps with my readers’ feedback on


recommended metric parts, we might even have
a gen3 in future which is truly metric?
