After drilling the mount attaching screws I bolted up the
mount and scribed the outside edges.
 
 


From here I used the mini mill and removed the excess metal.
 
 


I added a indicator mark for the handle using a sharp metal
chisel while holding the housing in a vise.
 
 


Attaching holes were countersunk and allenhead attaching bolts
were used instead of the original screws.
 


The face of the handle is flat and will interfere with the bearing.
A very thin spacer could be added to ride between the bearing

I used the mini mill and boring head to remove .002" from the outer
ring of the handle.


Finished
 

Thanks,
