No need to measure them, Frank. I have already done that. The ball seat
is 25mm DIA. A 1" spherical end mill in the hands of someone who can
operate a Bridgeport CNC machine will ream the conical seat surface into
the ball seat surface. I've done this twice, on two different sets of
wheels. The last time - on the MOMO Arrows on my wife's A4.
