Since the Rotabroach dies only come in standard dimensions you will either have to make the hole oversized at .750" diameter or go undersized and file out to the finished diameter. Oversize is ok structurally but it makes it more critical to be able to align the parts for welding. Ideally, if you could get the .750" bit ground down to .722" diameter you could jam right through to the finished size. With a good repeatable fixture you could whip these out in no time...

Thanks, Scott- first order of business is to get the bike reassembled after replacing the front frame, finally getting the subframe straight (I think) and getting the front Ohlins back from rebuild so I can ride it for a baseline. I've barely been on the bike in the last year. Carpal tunnel syndrome got so bad I couldn't ride, or even work on it. Got both wrists slit in June, much better.

I expect that I'll do the mod, just a question of when. As for making multiple copies, see comment about CTS above Don't wanna go through that again...
