Hi Derek,

My new torque wrench came with a conversion table which includes CMKG.
I will quote the formulas with CMKG:
1 KpCM = 1 CMKG
1 CMKG = .098 Nm
1 CMKG = 13.887 IN-OZ
1CMKG =  0.08677 IN-LB

mKp is not included, however "MKg" is, as is "KpM."
1 KpM = 1 MKg
1 MKg = 9.80665 Nm
1 MKg = 7.233 FT-LB

The main conversion table includes "kilo-gram Meters" as "Kgm" or" mkp"
alongside Foot-Pounds and Newton Meters.   What are KpM?  Maybe a typo
for KgM.  mKp might be the same as KpM, no?  Now I'm confused.

Hope this allows you to take that "pile" and line them up somewhere.

BTW, did you decide to buy those locking wheel nuts for the front of the
syncro ?.  I'm still in for 6, if so.
