34.00 57.00 1.41 3.96 7.00 30.00 42.23 27.70 10.67
38.00 57.00 1.76 3.96 7.00 30.00 52.76 27.70 13.33
You're missing something. The effective diameter of the flapper is actually less than the overall diameter. The flap may be 34mm, but the PORT is only 29-30mm. I was assuming flap diameter - 4mm (29mm=stock, 34mm=TRE, 38mm=bullseye).
