HI guys ,
Sorry for the slow reply ,holidays and all ,good info so far when I posted I goofed on the length it is 1.500 and when I measured the original part with protractor it was 5deg ,however this was a basic protractor not the fancier one to give deg,min,secs so I see where "FTF" gets gets his dim's I am going to try "Bruce Nelsons" and "eight balls technique . and yes I always make sure I am on center. Thanx again every one for the help it is always frustrating for me to have the solution this simple that i did not see it but that is the fun of this as I am about 50/50 hobby and vocation type machinist learned all my basics from my dad who was a machinist with his advice that rest is all experience, how true that is . I had the benefit of working the bering sea fisheries for years to be allowed the freedom to just do it as that sometimes is all we had , and an even better benefir was having an old crusty ex merchant marine chief who stoo over your shoulder as you made the part as he instructed ,thereby you knew from then on how to do that task merry axmas a hopefully ahappy new year smitty
