Hi,
Today I marked out the holes on the cylinder cover and drilled them.

It was very hard to do on my pilar drill and it took some lining up. I think I moved in a bit to far in while marking the PCD I will have to make the bore of the cylinder smaller by 2mm.
Next, I cut the stock and faced to the required thickness and drilled and tapped M5:

I finish turned the cylinder cover, and adjusted it slightly to Make it easier to drill the holes in the cylinder. The only thing I didn't do was put a recess for a seal as I'm not sure of the size of the one I'll use.

Next I turned the outer diameter of the cylinder, turned the majority first.

And then turned it in the chuck and finished all the way.


Next I drilled the bore to 13mm

And then bolted The cylinder plate and cylinder together ready for drilling and tapping.
