Great picture,

I do not have an answer for your dimentins, however the picture brings up a question I have been wondering about.

Right under the combing lip you have a rounding section (a miniscus?), as if there is a fillet.

My question to the board is, do you want a fillet there? The conserns being lack of strength without it, and having it push the skirt off the combing when it is there.

I had decided to put a really small one on as a compromise, but since Mike took the time to make such a great picture, I thougth I'd use it to ask the question.

thanks in advance.
