Chinese lathe is crap but does the job. This particular machine is very, very, well used. Machining takes about 30 mins to an hour. Dead simple to do too. Drilling and counterboring holes took longer |

Raw casting. Needs some minor (future..if ever) design mods for ease of fitting (in a perfect world). Car keys are for scale |

This might look like a gasket, but it’s actually the front face of the Sierra bellhousing removed with an angle grinder. It took less than 15 mins to do. It makes an excellent drill jig. |
