been thinking for years that a spread sheet containing all the measurements of parts would be a great centre of knowledge for the community

I've been teaching myself how to put together fancy spreadsheets in excell and now with better file sharing sites on the internet im thinking it would be a great time to give this a crack

the idea is basically for me to design a spreadsheet and share it on the web, it would contain all the measurements of 1200 parts and all those of typical part swaps.... like lower contol arm lengths/brake mounts/diff sizes, stuff like that

it could also include weights and other notable things, like gearbox ratios or whatever

It would be great to collect all those things currently in peoples heads and on scrap pieces of paper in to one place,

so basically with that in mind i would love to start collecting data from everyone on things they have measured over time so i can piece together a start point

so if people would like to email (current email address in my profile) or post measurements here and i will start assembling a spreadsheet and investigating a file sharing website where we can all access the data

im wondering if it would be better for all to be able to edit this or just a few that can verify data as it is entered?


p.s. i know the wiki has a lot of stuff and can sort of handle this but i dont really think it serves the purpose as well as a concise spreadsheet with solid data would
