Hello I can make the mold cavity to the size you need this mold cast out the ball at 1.002 because its aluminum and i had machined at .500 radius and when its heated it expands i can reduce the radius to .499 for a .998 ball spericaly thats why i had wanted to change them to cast iron I had also added the set pin
Plaster cast was 1.000
