I know it isn't perfectly round, but I tested it up. Plenty of meat to seal the gasket!

AdeV:
It doesn't matter who you make the chips for.... it's the making of the chips that matters!

Nice to see you making things again Eric :)

Brass_Machine:
Thanks Ade, yeah... it is nice to be in the shop again.

I threw the plate back onto the mill and bolted it down to the jig so I could drill out the holes for the bulkhead connectors.

Figured I would cut the actual fuel pump hanger off the old plate and knock up a quick mount for it on the new plate. Took some measurements and proceeded to hack the hanger off. Took a piece of 1x1.? aluminum and drilled some mounting holes in it. I had to offset them for 2 reasons. 1. the bolts would be going in on 2 sides and I did not want them to collide. 2. The original location of the hanger was slightly offset.

Of course, when I did my measurements, I was planning on grinding the hanger off. My Dremel took a dive, so I had to use a hacksaw. I did not take into account the .125" or so that I left behind in my using the hack saw. So, the pump was about .125" too high. Figured I could make a new mount, but decided to take the easy way and just make a spacer (didn't take pictures)

Here is the hanger mounted on the plate.

And finally, one of the bulkhead connectors to check clearance.

Now I am waiting on some parts while I figure out how to mount the electrical connectors...

The new one is on, need to align the headstock, make some taper gibs and install the extended cross slide... Then on to the CNC rebuild!
