A bit more done today , worked on the air control valve spindle , this was turned and screw cut , then slapped onto the mill like so .
Two flats mill on the screwed section .
Then a section of spindle was milled away for the gate /butterfly .
And then a couple of hole were poked in .
Next a 1 mill thick disc was turned , this needs two slots milled . I used an old bearing race to centre the chuck with the aid of my Zero set indicator (Wilson copy) , just love that tool .
Then the disc mounted and milled .
Nearly there .
