Re: Frame Perimeter Tolerance

If that end tab is past the 112" mark, you're no good. So, it's up to you to decide the tolerance of the tape, but I'd say it is well under 1/16".
Regarding your powdercoat, that will be more than just a couple thousandths in thickness. I would put it into the tens of thousandths overall. So, if you gain 0.020 (0.005 per side), you're approaching the point where an inspector's tape will reflect the difference.

This procedure is not consistent across events. We were never inspected this way.
