As I have said before I needed to find a specific tube size and I know I could buy it online, but I thought if I have a kit with that tube size (dia.) then I could use that instead of having to buy a length. When I looked at the IAP pdf it wasn't much use to me as most of the kits are not available here so I doubt I would have one even if it has the size I needed, which is what got me thinking about making a database that would be relevant to the UK available kits. It was only when you pointed out the pitfalls that I thought it would be too much effort to collate for so little return. If it is only useful to a handful of people once or twice in a blue moon then there really is no need for it. I would love a good reason to produce it, but apart from what I needed it for I can't see any, besides which I would probably have to learn to use Excel which I have successfully dodged all my life

[QUOTE="Buckeye, post: 95842, member: 294"] As I have said before I needed to find a specific tube size and I know I could buy it online, but I thought if I have a kit with that tube size (dia.) then I could use that instead of having to buy a length. When I looked at the IAP pdf it wasn't much use to me as most of the kits are not available here so I doubt I would have one even if it has the size I needed, which is what got me thinking about making a database that would be relevant to the UK available kits. It was only when you pointed out the pitfalls that I thought it would be too much effort to collate for so little return. If it is only useful to a handful of people once or twice in a blue moon then there really is no need for it. I would love a good reason to produce it, but apart from what I needed it for I can't see any, besides which I would probably have to learn to use Excel which I have successfully dodged all my life:funny: Peter [/QUOTE]
