This is something that I struggled with for a while and I still have moments where my brain just won’t work it out 🙂 – so don’t panic…you’re not on your own!
Box Caps

These codes appear in both ceramic/disc and box caps – the lower the letter in the alphabet…the lower the tolerance. In general terms, unless you’re building a boutique Klon to exacting standards…10% tolerance or less is what you’re aiming for.
