Started this little project just to see if I could. The factory part seems just fine and there have been no issues with it. But I DO love a challenge?
First I set up a piece of round stock in the machine.
Cut the profile, machined the bores and drilled, reamed & tapped the holes for the pusher rods.
Once that was done, I chucked it in the lathe and just sliced it off the spud. If I were to do it again, I'd machine the bores first, and then set it up with a fixture in the CNC. Less waste & more efficient.
