<DIV><FONT face=Georgia> You mean like the wire size formula, =
Subtract 5
and divide by 2? I don't think so. Tuning pins are all over the map and =
depends
on who made them. And they are not accurate enough to use them without
measuring. I just saw a box being measured and some you would throw in =
box of
the next size up because they were that much larger.</FONT></DIV>
