First job today was to drill a 5mm hole in the 2" end of the fledgling shaft to prepare for the trial fit on the rotary table. That done, I discovered that the end face isn't quite flat, so that will need correcting before we start milling - it's difficult to get in close to face of the end with the revolving centre in the way - maybe I will use my half-centre.
Anyhow, I think I have enough bits in the milling clamp box to hold it together:
The work is located on the rotary table with this little 5 mm pin:
In other news, rooting around in my collection of adjustable reamers revealed an H8 reamer, perfect for the kickstart lever.
It's now a perfect fit:
