I don't recall! I had it in my head that 1.55 was a stock
size. I wrote that page 10 years ago, I doubt it's a typo though.

Yeah, I took those photos at the machine shop mid-work, before
blending etc. It was just to see how things were lining up,
roughed out. I intended to do a lot more documentation on that
build, but never did.
