Scotch brass floats compared to OEM - Weight Measurement

Yesterday I wrote: 
Initially, I was weighing the floats. More out of curiosity.  As my soldering skills and techniques became more refined I found there was no need for this procedure. 
I can assemble floats within +/_ 1 gram.  

I realized this morning that a missed "the Decimal point" !     Should have read +/_  . 1 gram.  
 
 
 
 


These floats are the most recent set fabricated. Some skill and technique for the soldering aspect is certainly important but equally true is the consistency/accuracy in cutting all the pieces.  Jigs and templates deal with this.
And for the conspiracy theorists and skeptics:    3 individual floats - not one, cleverly re-photographed !  


 

Bill:  You bring up a good point.  The "wet" method of setting float levels is always the best/most accurate; regardless of the type/make of float.

Within some limits, I doubt that the weights of the floats are that important. Correct me if I'm wrong but you don't specify a float height do you Scotch? Instead you and I recommend setting the fuel level by the wet method which automatically compensates for small weight differences. Another property of any float is it's volume. I don't know how these respective volumes compare but once again the wet setting method accommodates.

Good points Bill. You should post more often!
