Not a problem from this end, Tommy, I was just trying to make sure
that it didn't get accepted as gospel by anyone else picking up the
thread.

Most of the Lister and Petter engines, and others, use BSP, up to
2-1/2" on the JP engines, 2" on the CS diesels and 1" on the AV series
diesel engines.

We have taps and dies for the BSP stuff up to 2", but I'd hate to have
to try and tap a 2" hole!
