Here it is guys. Check out this marvel of technology and machining!
OK so it's nothing much, but it works perfectly. Just a soft cheap piece of steel. I heated it up and made a few bends in a vise. Drilled a hole a little undersize then hogged it out with a small round file. Does the trick. Blown heads and stuck cases no longer slow me down.
Simply at work!
Nice....whatever it takes to get the job done.

"In the beginning... the patriot is a scarce man, and brave and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." - Mark Twain.
To make a bunch I'd just need to make a jig and maybe a precise drill bit. The most time was taken in getting that hole only a few thou over the shaft. I'm not sure how precise it needs to be, but I didn't feel like starting over by hogging the hole out too much.Originally Posted by MUSTANG
Hi SS Steve.Drill undersize,and ream to proper size.Drill bits are never accurate enough for final size holes for precision builds.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.
