I know there has been discussion on doing this in the past. Can't find a thread on machining how to. Drawing? Dimensions?
Hopefully someone will remember the thread.

Yep, can be done as per Dermotts photos. Saw and assisted it being done last year. The flange is tough so make sure your cutters are up to the job.

Thanks for this guys. Off to the lathe and get busy. Shouldn't be a problem with carbide tooling.

Do another pair for Johnny V (thread above) while you're there Chris........ John, suggest you get in touch with Chris.
Every Cooper owner ought to download Dermott/360GTS drawings as shown for future reference. It works really well
