Hello Every Body !

On the way to re-fit wheel spokes on my R26, I realise that I don't know measurements of the gauge for mounting wheel spokes.

Repair manual just give BMW's reference of this tool's drawing, which is 5098/4, but not it's dimension figures.
(In «1000 Tricks für Schnelle BMWs», Hans-Joachim Mai state values for flat-twin only.)

The only one value I realy would like to know is the «step» that's left between rim's level and drum flange's level when one applay a straight-edge across wheel's diameter. (Or Hans-Joachim Mai's «e» value, page 58.)

Any body has an idea how much it vould be for R26/27 ?

Thanks for any help !
And thanks to Mark for this wonderfull forum !

Et peut-être à un de ces quatres sur les routes !
