I'm starting to build my K9, i've got the more accurate plans that i could find (not the old one), but every mesurement are in inch, and i'm french, so i've converted all the inch in cm, but what i get it's a bunch of strange mesurent that are not possible.

for exemple :
for 3.125 inc i get 7,9375cm

So, what can i do ? Do i use the inch or CM

3.125in X 2.54cm/in = 7.9375cm is correct.  Best way to go about is round the cm up or down to the nearest 10th decimal point.  So in this case, you would want 7.9cm.  I would then make a cardboard model of your K-9 using your metric measurements to see how things will fit together.  Cardboard should be easy to get and free.

Thanks, that's what i had in mind, do a cheap prototype for the mesurement.
