Let me know what you think when you get it. Of course you'll have to add the tapped mounting holes, locate them using a transfer punch or other accurate method. If you have a form tap that would give you the strongest thread in bronze, though you would have to be very careful with hole size.

Thanks Ken. I'll watch for it. I don't have any form taps. Maybe I should pick one up.
I don't want to screw this up.
