Bog standard buffers – dowel pitch on the old seat varied between 38 and 43mm. New buffers 30mm. Makes a 5 minute job into an all morning’s work when the workshop is only about plus 2 degrees.
Perhaps this is because not all bums are the same size ?
Just asking !
Just like bums, there are probably no standard sizes for buffers.

Smaller buffers use less material so as well as increasing their profit you are saving the world, one sh** at a time. 🙂
Hi Bazyle, Butt! smaller buffers may mean they wear out sooner, = profits double, saving the world -1 (Devilish Smiley)
Regards Nick.
Hee-hee!
I saw the link and immediately thought, “Oh, some new ISO specification for khazi cisterns…”
Then opened the form. Last laugh to SpeedyBuilder.
I 3d printed some new ones.
