Hi Lynn, "29.6" is just my reference value from some accessible surface of the clutch disc, in fact, it doesn't mean nothing specific to the flatheads. I set all three fingers to this height, should be OK, but haven't tested it yet.

Believe me or not, none special tooling or machines been used for making the rests. Only very skillful craftsman and good idea
If needed, I think some more could be done

I did compression check today and Im happy with the result. 95 to 110 psi on all cylinders, oil pressure on cranking speed 35 psi - its going to be a beast
Hopefully will try to fire it soon - looking forward to it

Thanks Lynn!
Finally did some work on the hull. Remains of the side armour have been cut and cleaned. Still plenty of work there but happy with the start
