You need to use a bit of trig or cad to figure out the over roller measurements.

Claude I only asked because in curiosity I disassembled my QCTP and when I re-assembled it I mixed the pistons, boy was I puzzled with the handle positions after that boo-boo, I took it apart again and figured it out.
As regards trig or cad (neither of which I'm familiar with) I'm gonna need to read up on the roller to roller measurement procedure.
Would dowel pins work? do they have to be a specific diameter relative to the dovetali size?
