Just thinking that not everyone has a 20mm reamer, you can make a hone or a lap.

Dalboy, I made 7 and the nuts were £22 and the material was in stock plus how much is satisfaction per hour?

To get away from this problem I sometimes fit a right angle round bar to the end of dti shaft and then dti above centre height. the bar drops vertically so is always on centre height.

You could make a hone to use after welding.

when I made mine I used USACUT55 which is a type of 16T and seems to be ok.Theynwere for a taistock turret.

diameter looks a bit like 5/32 and tpi should be simple enough with a good rule and eye loupe

Does distance matter

THis cut and shut idea is fairly common its quick and you don't need 3 hands!

If you post a drawing you may get a response

How many do you need? Mine are 7/8

depending on what its use the cut and silver solder route would give you a sharper corner, or it could be big welded.

that's going to keep you busy but the end result will be something special. I am working on a 0.1 Ci single at the moment and the problem of limits and fits is stretching me I fear, best of luck and keep us updated

Can only point you to MEW 328 page 9 to 16 which should be of help.

Fulmen, surely you mean depth as anodising is not adding to the material but changing it!

High pressure fuel pipe, old direct injection feed pipes were like that.

Dave, and at one time I could see it from my bedroom window as it made its way through Thorpe narrows on th way to Norwich !

Try Makrolon Its a better version of perspex often used for machine guards and in layers for bulletproofing!

1920s with Polyvee that's novel and it proves the spindles been out before!

My mates fobco has the nameplate fitted with drive screws!

The odd Stuart fittings I have looked at have the blanking bolts all threaded 40 tpi by either 1/8 or 5/32 or 3/16 and the threads that fit to boiler bushes appear be 32tpi. I think I would double check your 0.158 measurement as it sounds very unlike Stuart !
