Just an observation, the 18 / 19 and 15 /16 are the same outside diameter with the inside machined to the required size which means the wall is thinner on the bigger size.

That is - if they weren't the same OD, then the smaller size would have a smaller OD making the walls the same.

Click to expand... Six and two threes on that discussion. If the wall is thinner, it means less strength.
