14.17 in. What would that reading be on a ruler? 14 1/2--143/4 etc etc

piston length.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, feed him for life.

Take the decimal portion only, in this case .17, and multiply it by a medium accuracy measurement, say 16ths. So in this case, 16 x 0.17 = 2.72. So that would be 2.72 / 16ths.

If that’s not close enough move up to higher accuracy units, for example, 64ths would be 64 x 0.17 = 10.88 / 64ths. So that would be 14 and 10.88 / 64ths.

Given the comment "Please allow 0.5-1 inch difference due to manual measurement.(1inch=2.54cm)" in the listing, I'd call it about 14 1/8", more or less, and be prepared for it to be a little different.

Undoubtedly the original specication (which may not be precisely reflected in the stated specifications) was in metric units.

Why aren't you selecting it by application? Find one that's listed for the vehicle you're going to use it on.

perfect, thank you

14 and 11/64 inches would be the length.

In order of decreasing accuracy, 14.17 inches is
14 11/64 inches (14.171875 inches)
14 5/32 inches (14.15625 inches)
14 3/16 inches (14.1875 inches)

Since that diagram appears to show the MAXIMUM length, I would not exceed it. Therefore, I would use 14 5/32 inches.
