Im in the process of making a tool that fits into the billet then locates in whats left of the old barrel spigot , this will then keep it central when the it is "tacked into position " ,The spigot has a tolerance of 0.5mm which is the same as the standard motorcycle casings but quite large in engineering terms so offers a little give from the off and im hoping that i wont have to do any major machining later as i want to be as builder friendly as possible ,plus the guy who does my ali welding is an absolute god with very little distorting happening in previous work ive had done , so fingers crossed .................

not only that but what i was allso concerned about was ensuring the gasket face was square as before as theres no room for error here ,do you intend to have this machined after welding?
