    you have them all mate with between tolerances right ill explain

    3.82 i have gap of 0.80 with 0.45 off gives me 0.35 3.82 + 0.35 = 4.17 with a tolerance of 0.05 i can have 4.12 or 4.22 you have 1 x 4.12

    the same workin out goes for the others

    2x 4.10
    1x 4.20
    1 x4.22
    1x 4.12
