You don't know if your machinist who's doing your lathework has more of the big round he is using to make the cap do you ?
Is it aluminium or steel ?
I don't fancy having to buy a whole 170mm diam steel round (cap it with aluminium ?) or a whole 152.4mm diam aluminium round .... will work out very expensive unless I can buy an offcut of suitable depth. (about 3")).
I am looking for something similar (probably a blank undrilled (no predrilled bolt holes (usually at this size it's 4 bolt holes) and no central hole) flange but I can't locate a standard one thick enough in steel (would prefer aluminium (this way it wount have any redox reactions with the base of my Altux (which is finely machined aluminium)).
