    The words 'reverse engineer' to an engineer are the cue for a nightmare induced heart attack, believe me! Like Enfield Lock says, that by definition there's no drawings available (otherwise it wouldn't be reverse engineering...), no datums from which to start, centres which have to be accurately re-located, no known dimensions from which to work after the sample has suffered years of use and........ and.......

    Another phrase is the well used '.......just copy this.........'

    I heard those two words again and I'm just going to have to lay down in a darkened room..........
