It is Jack I should have said 12 inches. It’s sad but we just never did go with the metric system in school. All I know is 25.4 mm equals 1 inch LOL

This is in the UK though, MW. If approved doc M applies it's 15 3/4 inches, although on this job it probably won't apply so the height can be whatever the customer prefers.
