I am planning to build an upscale version of the 1/162 scale stack from
Estes. I am planning to use the foam Columbia Glider kit as the
shuttle, or a reference size. I need some help with BT sizes for the ET
and SRB tubes. I don't mind foing a little math, just unsure of how to
go about this.

TIA

If being close to scale is your goal, you're probably better off using the
data in ROTW to build your scale model from the foam orbiter than you are to
upscale the kit.

It had become an universal and almost uncontroverted position in
the several States, that the purposes of society do not require
a surrender of all our rights to our ordinary governors; that
there are certain portions of right not necessary to enable them
to carry on an effective government, and which experience has
nevertheless proved they will be constantly encroaching on, if
submitted to them; that there are also certain fences which
experience has proved peculiarly efficacious against wrong, and
rarely obstructive of right, which yet the governing powers have
ever shown a disposition to weaken and remove. Of the first
kind, for instance, is freedom of religion; of the second, trial
by jury, habeas corpus laws, free presses. -- Thomas Jefferson
