<VV> '65 clutch cable adjustment

[Hugo Miller]

The measurements you give are plus or minus 18". That makes sense. 
Giving it to a hundredth of an inch does not. It did occur to me that 
this could well be a translation of 20.3mm.
Maybe somebody has taken the measurement in inches and translated it 
PRECISELY into mm, then got the decimal point in the wrong place? Far 
fetched, I know, but so is 2.03"!
