So I'm going down this route - it's quite a lot of metal to remove - before I get stuck in did you just file it or did you get it machined?

Just get yourself a http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hot-M2AL-HSS- ... SwRLZT0LNx - can't remember what size I used though. That is a 10mm one. It's not that difficult to do, just have to ensure that you are elongating it in the correct direction! Not a lot of metal to be removed.

Nice! That doesn't look to painful. I'm going to use the pooh plate to mark it up. I wasn't looking forward to filing all that
