Thank you, Tom! ... I'm pleased I haven't been forgotten! :wave:

What a tremendous own goal, Pbucket have scored! :loco:
So..... While thinking what to do, about the detached flange. I set to, making the cooling fins.
Around 4"/100mm diameter.
Started with, square, 5mm thick blanks. And, one off at 8mm thick, to screw to the bulkhead.
Using 3 stops, on the mill table. Means I can locate/ relocate all blanks, accurately. Every time......
Making it easy, to mill off the corners. Instead of sawing......
Also, to drill a central, 6mm hole.......
A piece of 4" dia steel, in the chuck. Faced with wide insulation tape. Plus a lump of spare nylon......
Friction turned the remaining corners away........
Giving, a handful of discs, all the same diameter.
Moved onto the mill.......
Removed the centre areas. Just undersize, to the hot cap o/d of 47mm......
Parted off, Five, 63mm dia blanks. From bar stock, and removed the centres, too.......
After finish boring, on the lathe. A quick mock up......
I think that looks ok..... :thumbup:
Thanks for looking in......
