Not that I know of. Don't know if EPC gives the sizes can't get the thing to work on windows 7.

Would be great for the maintenance guides, if everyone contributed with sizes when they were doing any work on the migs.

OFF TOPIC MODE = on

Only way I have got it to work is to run it inside a "virtual machine" running XP SP2 un-updated ..  easy to use VM from http://www.virtualbox.org and its free .. :)

OFF TOPIC MODE = off

Some of the guides have 'Tools Required' at the top, and some others explain the bolt/nut size as you progress through the guide.

Would be a nightmare to compile, but I concur that a detailed guide of what size fixing for different areas of the car would be very handy.

A nightmare indeed but what a valuable asset.

I like the idea of the shared spreadsheet but the google one is a bit cumbersome.
